Description

The Coated Vicryl Rapide Suture, in size 5/0 and 18 inches in length, represents a sophisticated option for superficial soft tissue approximation of both skin and mucosa. Composed of a synthetic copolymer crafted from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, this sterile surgical suture is meticulously designed to mimic the performance of collagen sutures, offering excellent biocompatibility and absorption characteristics.

Manufactured by Ethicon, a renowned leader in surgical sutures and medical devices, these coated Vicryl Rapide sutures uphold the highest standards of quality and innovation. Each suture is braided for enhanced tensile strength and knot security, ensuring reliable wound closure.

While these sutures excel in superficial soft tissue approximation, they are not intended for use in ligation, ophthalmic, cardiovascular, or neurological procedures. They are specifically tailored for situations where short-term wound support is required. Packaged conveniently with 12 units per box, these sutures provide surgeons with a reliable solution for a variety of surgical applications.

Coated VICRYL RAPIDE (polyglactin 910) suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Although this suture is a synthetic absorbable suture, its performance characteristics are intended to model the performance of collagen (surgical gut) suture. Coated VICRYL RAPIDE synthetic absorbable suture is indicated only for use in superficial soft tissue approximation of the skin and mucosa, where only short term wound support (7-10 days) is required. Coated VICRYL RAPIDE suture is not intended for use in ligation, ophthalmic, cardiovascular or neurological procedures.
