Description

The Coated Vicryl Rapide Suture, manufactured by Ethicon, offers surgeons a reliable solution for superficial soft tissue approximation where short-term wound support is necessary. Composed of a synthetic, sterile surgical suture, it is crafted from a copolymer consisting of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. This composition mimics the performance of collagen sutures, ensuring optimal wound closure outcomes.

Specifically designed for use in skin and mucosa approximation, the Coated Vicryl Rapide Suture is braided to enhance its tensile strength and knot security. This feature is particularly beneficial in superficial wound closure, where precise and secure suturing is crucial for successful healing.

Packaged conveniently with 12 sutures per box, organized into 1 dozen packs, this product offers healthcare professionals easy access to sterile sutures during surgical procedures. Identified by the manufacturer's part number VR494, the Coated Vicryl Rapide Suture exemplifies Ethicon's commitment to providing high-quality surgical supplies tailored to the evolving needs of medical practitioners and their patients.

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.
