DemeQUICK rapid absorbable suture - Suture, polyglactin

Intended purpose

DemeQUICK rapid absorbable surgical suture is indicated for use in superficial soft tissue approximation where only short term would support (7-10 days) is required. DemeQUICK is not intended for use in ligation, cardiovascular, ophthalmic or neurological procedures.

Functional description

DemeQUICK sutures elicit minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissues. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.
