TENSILE STRENGTH
Subcutaneous tissue implantation studies of coated
Visorb Quick® sutures in rats show that after 7 days
post-implantation, approximately 54% of the origional
tensile strength remains. 50% of the origional tensile
strength is lost by approximately 9-11 days
postimpantation. Intramuscular implantation studies
in rats shows that the absorption of these sutures
occurs therafter and is essentially complete by 42
days.
ABSORPTION
Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without
appreciable loss of mass. Absorption of Visorb Quick
sutures is essentially complete in 42 days.
PACKAGING
Visorb Quick® sutures are available in USP sizes 6/0
through 1 (metric sizes 0.7-4.0). Visorb Quick® is
available with needles in one dozen boxes. Three
dozen suture boxes available on customer request.
DESCRIPTION
Visorb Quick® is a fast absorbing, coated, braided
polyglycolic acid, synthetic absorbable, sterile surgical
suture composed of a 100% polymer made from
polyglycolic acid. The undyed suture is milk white in color.
CHARACTERISTICS
Fast absorbing polyglycolic acid is intendend to model the
performance of collagen (surgical gut) suture.
INDICATIONS
Visorb Quick® synthetic absorbable suture is indicated only
for the use in superficial soft tissue approximation of the
skin and mucosa, where only short-term wound support is
required. Coated Visorb Quick® suture is not intended for
use in ligation, ophthalmic, cardiovascular or neurological
procedures.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Due to rapid loss of tensile strength, this suture should not
be used where extended approximation of tissue under
stress is required or where wound support beyond 7 days is
required.
