J&J Ethicon Suture Vicryl Rapide 4/0 with PS-2 19mm 3/8 Circle Precision Point Reverse Cutting Needle 45cm (36)
Ethicon Coated Vicryl Rapide sutures are synthetic absorbable sterile surgical sutures composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Vicryl Rapide is intended for use in soft tissue approximation where only short-term wound support is required and where the rapid absorption of the suture would be beneficial.
