Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE undyed USP 3-0 75cm Reverse cutting 26mm 3/8C (W9940)

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE™ Undyed USP 3-0 (W9940) is a trusted, fast-absorbing synthetic absorbable suture specifically engineered for procedures where rapid loss of tensile strength is desirable. Manufactured from polyglactin 910, VICRYL RAPIDE™ provides predictable absorption and reliable handling characteristics, making it a preferred choice for skin, mucosal, and superficial tissue closure.

This suture retains approximately 50% tensile strength at 5 days and minimal strength by 14 days, with complete absorption typically occurring within 42 days. Its rapid absorption profile reduces the need for suture removal, supporting improved patient comfort and faster post-operative management — particularly beneficial in veterinary patients.

The undyed suture material minimises tissue marking and improves cosmetic outcomes, while the braided structure ensures excellent knot security and smooth handling. Supplied with a 26 mm reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for precise penetration of skin and tougher tissues with controlled cutting action.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL RAPIDE™ W9940 delivers consistent, high-quality performance for routine veterinary and medical wound closure.
