Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE undyed USP 3-0 75cm Conventional Cutting PC 16mm 3/8C (W9919)

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE™ Undyed USP 3-0 (W9919) is engineered for procedures requiring dependable wound approximation with predictable, short-term tissue support. Manufactured from polyglactin 910, this braided synthetic absorbable suture delivers excellent handling characteristics, secure knot placement, and a rapid absorption profile suited to 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 rapid absorption profile reduces prolonged foreign material in tissue and may minimise or eliminate the need for suture removal—particularly beneficial in veterinary patients.

The undyed suture material minimises tissue marking and supports improved cosmetic outcomes. Its braided construction ensures reliable knot security and consistent handling. Supplied with a 16 mm conventional cutting PC needle (3/8 circle), this configuration offers efficient penetration and precise control for skin and firmer tissues, especially in smaller or more confined surgical sites.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL RAPIDE™ W9919 delivers trusted Ethicon quality for routine veterinary and medical wound closure.
