Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE Braided Polyglactin 910 Absorbable Surgical Suture – USP 4-0 – 75 cm – Undyed – Conventional Cutting PC Needle (16 mm, 3/8 Circle) – W9918 (Box of 12) Size: 4-0 Colour: Undyed Style: Conventional Cutting PC

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and engineered for rapid absorption and short-term tensile strength retention.

The braided construction provides excellent handling characteristics and reliable knot security, making it suitable for superficial soft tissue approximation where extended wound support is not required.

This USP 4-0 undyed variant measures 75 cm in length and is supplied with a 16 mm 3/8 circle Conventional Cutting PC needle, designed for precise penetration through skin with enhanced cutting performance and control.

VICRYL RAPIDE is formulated to lose tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for skin closure and minor surgical procedures.

Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
