Velosorb™ Fast Absorbable Sutures

Velosorb™ Fast sutures are composed of absorbable synthetic polyester comprised of glycolide and lactide (derived from glycolic and lactic acids).

This braided absorbable suture offers:

• Pliable handling and easy knot tying during closing
• Strong wound approximation during the critical wound healing period
• Fast absorption
• Minimal tissue drag

Velosorb™ Fast sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation of the skin and mucosa, when only 7-10 days of wound support is required. Application for episiotomy repair, where fast absorption is preferred, may be beneficial for patient comfort and dyspareunia. However, it is not indicated for use in ligation, ophthalmic, cardiovascular, or neurological procedures.
