CARESORB RAPID® POLYGLACTIN 910 (R)

COMPOSITION:

CARESORB® RAPID is a multifilament, braided, sterile synthetic absorbable sutures composed of a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, coated with a copolymer of Polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate. The suture is available undyed in the natural beige color. .

Polyglactin 910 is also named as: Poly(glycolide-co-L-lactide) 90/10, Glacomer 91, Lactomer 9-1, Polyglycolic Acid 9-1, PGLA.
