Surgicryl Rapid 5-0 12mm 75cm Undyed Surgicryl Rapid 5-0 is a synthetic, rapidly absorbable braided multifilament suture manufactured from coated polyglycolic acid (PGA). It is designed to provide reliable short-term wound support, making it ideal for procedures where rapid healing and suture absorption are required. The suture retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength after 7 days and is fully absorbed in approximately 42 days.
The 12mm 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle is designed for precise passage through soft tissue and is particularly suitable for superficial skin closure, oral surgery, and mucosal tissue approximation.
