Coated Vicryl Rapide™ Sutures are synthetic, absorbable, sterile sutures designed for soft tissue approximation, especially in cases requiring only short-term wound support. Composed of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, these sutures absorb rapidly, falling off within 7–10 days post-operation or easily removable with gauze, eliminating the need for suture removal.
Key Features
- Reverse Cutting Needle (FS): Triangular cross-section with an apex cutting edge on the outer curve, enhancing needle strength and resistance to bending.
- Absorbable Suture: Absorption via hydrolysis, complete in 42 days, supporting short-term healing.
- Braided and Coated: For easy handling, secure knot tying, and smooth passage through tissue.
- Synthetic Composition: Minimal tissue reaction for enhanced patient comfort.
- Undyed: Discreet in appearance, suitable for visible tissue areas.
- Typical use: Skin closures, including cuticular and subcuticular, Episiotomies, Oral mucosa closures and Conjunctival sutures in ophthalmic procedures.
