Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE undyed USP 6-0 45cm Reverse Cutting Prime 11mm 3/8C (W9913)

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE™ Undyed USP 6-0 (W9913) is engineered for highly delicate procedures where minimal tissue trauma, exceptional control, and predictable short-term absorption are critical. Manufactured from polyglactin 910, this braided synthetic absorbable suture offers excellent handling characteristics, dependable knot security, and a rapid absorption profile suited to very fine superficial closures.

VICRYL RAPIDE™ retains approximately 50% tensile strength at 5 days, with minimal remaining strength by 14 days, and is typically fully absorbed within 42 days. This fast absorption profile minimises the duration of foreign material in tissue and can reduce or eliminate the need for suture removal—particularly advantageous in veterinary patients and sensitive anatomical sites.

The USP 6-0 suture size is optimised for ultra-fine tissue approximation and superior cosmetic outcomes. The undyed suture material minimises tissue marking, while the braided construction ensures consistent handling and reliable knot security. Supplied with an 11 mm Reverse Cutting Prime needle (3/8 circle), this configuration provides precise penetration of skin and firmer tissues with reduced cut-out risk, supporting controlled closure in very small or confined areas.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL RAPIDE™ W9913 delivers trusted Ethicon performance for high-precision veterinary and medical wound closure.
