Details
Overview:
Coated VICRYL RAPIDE Suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide.(Ref: 172)
Although this suture is a synthetic absorbable suture, its performance characteristics are intended to model the performance of collagen (surgical gut) suture.(Ref: 172)
Coated VICRYL RAPIDE 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.(Ref: 172)
Description and Specifications:
VICRYL RAPIDE 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.(Ref: 172)
VICRYL RAPIDE Suture, when used in closure of skin and mucous membranes, typically begins to fall off 7-10 days post-operatively and can be wiped off subsequently with sterile gauze.(Ref: 172)
Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of VICRYL RAPIDE Suture Suture occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.(Ref: 172)
