Key Features of Vicryl Rapide Sutures: 

• Vicryl Rapide: This is the trade name of the suture material, which is made from a synthetic polymer called polyglactin 910. Vicryl Rapide sutures are designed to be absorbed more quickly by the body than regular Vicryl sutures, which helps to reduce the risk of suture-related complications.
• Sutures: This refers to the thread-like material that is used to stitch together tissues or close wounds during surgery.
• USP 2-0: This refers to the size of the suture material. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which is a set of standards that govern the quality of drugs and medical devices in the United States. The number 2-0 indicates that this is a relatively thick suture material, which is typically used for procedures that require strong tissue support or for closing large wounds.
• 1/2 Circle Tapercut: This refers to the shape of the needle that is attached to the suture material. A 1/2 circle needle has a curved shape that is half of a full circle, and a tapercut needle has a sharp, tapered point that makes it easier to penetrate tissues. This type of needle is commonly used for suturing tissues that require a strong, secure hold.
• NW2762ER: This is a product code that is used by Ethicon to identify this specific type of suture material. The NW indicates that this is a non-woven suture. The numbers 2762 are a unique identifier for this specific size and type of suture material. The ER indicates that the suture material is packaged in an easy-to-open package.

Safety Information: 

• Do not use the package if it is damaged.
• Do not resterilize or reuse it. 
• Keep far from children.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
