Alcasorb - Model PGAR - Polyglycolic Acid Rapid - Manual

ALCASORB® RAPID sutures are synthetic absorbable sterile surgical sutures which are made of Polyglycolic Acid. The braid structure of the suture is coated. The coating material of the coated sutures consists of a mixture of Calcium Stearate and Polycaprolactone. ALCASORB® RAPID sutures when implanted into a living organism, it is absorbed by that organism and cause no undue tissue irritation. ALCASORB® RAPID sutures have been found to be non-antigenic, non- pyrogenic and elicit only a mild tissue reaction during absorption. ALCASORB® RAPID sutures meet all requirements for synthetic absorbable surgical sutures specified at the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP).
