Description

The Vicryl Rapide Coated Braided Undyed Suture, 5-0, 18" with a P-3 Conventional Cutting Needle is designed for rapid tissue healing and minimal tissue reaction. This suture offers initial strength comparable to that of Nylon and Chromic Gut, ensuring reliable performance during surgical procedures.

Vicryl Rapide is notable for its rapid absorption rate, making it an ideal choice for procedures requiring a suture that will be absorbed quickly by the body. It provides a high level of initial strength but is designed to degrade and be absorbed faster than traditional synthetic sutures, which is particularly beneficial in cases where rapid tissue repair is essential.

The P-3 Conventional Cutting Needle further enhances the suture’s performance by providing sharp, reliable cutting edges that minimize tissue trauma. This combination of advanced materials and design features ensures that the Vicryl Rapide Coated Braided Suture delivers both efficacy and patient comfort in a variety of surgical settings.

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.
