Vetsutures BIOCRYL RAPID is a braided, coated fast-absorbing synthetic suture made from polyglycolic acid (PGA), designed for closures that only need short-term support while the wound heals quickly. Its braided construction delivers excellent handling and knot security, while the smooth coating lets it glide through tissue and slide down neatly to a secure knot.
BIOCRYL RAPID absorbs noticeably faster than standard BIOCRYL, so support falls away quickly once the tissue no longer needs it, often without the need for suture removal.
Key benefits
- Rapid, predictable absorption profile for short-term wound support
- Coated braid for easy handling and excellent sliding through tissue
- Excellent knot-tying security
- Reduces the need for suture removal in fast-healing tissue
Performance
- Absorption: by hydrolysis, substantially faster than standard PGA sutures
- Material: braided coated polyglycolic acid (PGA)
- Colour: violet · Sterilisation: ethylene oxide · Shelf life: 5 years
Indications: approximation and/or ligation of soft tissues where only short-term wound support is required, such as skin and mucosa closures in fast-healing tissue.
