Composition and indications
VICRYL RAPIDE Suture, composed of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide copolymer, is a synthetic absorbable suture intended to model the performance of collagen (surgical gut) suture with less tissue reaction. It is indicated for use only in superficial soft tissue approximation of the skin and mucosa, with wound support of 7-10 days.1
For longer tissue support and antibacterial activity, try VICRYL® Plus1
Coated VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial (polyglactin 910) Sutures offer smooth tissue passage, exceptional handling, knot security, 2-4 weeks of tissue support, and are shown in vitro to inhibit colonization of the suture—a known risk factor for surgical site infection (SSI).1-3

DERMABOND® PRINEO® Skin Closure System consists of a liquid topical skin adhesive and a self-adhering mesh that provides temporary skin edge alignment until the adhesive is applied.4 In a clinical study, cosmesis was better with DERMABOND PRINEO System than with conventional suturing in skin closure.5*
