Ethicon VR493 5-0 VICRYL RAPIDE UNDYED 1X18" P-3 MULTIPASS BX/12

Ethicon VR493 5-0 VICRYL RAPIDE UNDYED 1X18" P-3 MULTIPASS BX/12

As a Size 5-0 undyed braided strand, it is paired with the premium P-3 MultiPass™ Reverse Cutting needle, making it the industry standard for superficial soft tissue approximation, skin closures, and mucosal repairs. VICRYL RAPIDE™ is unique for its characteristic "fast-absorbing" profile, typically losing its tensile strength within 10 to 14 days and undergoing complete absorption by 42 days, which often eliminates the need for manual suture removal.
