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 delicate soft tissue approximation where extended wound support is not required.

This USP 8-0 violet variant measures 30 cm in length and is supplied with a 6.5 mm 3/8 circle reverse spatula needle, specifically designed for precise, layered tissue penetration in ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.

VICRYL RAPIDE is formulated to lose tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for fine, short-term closure applications.

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