Ethicon Vicryl Plus Visi-Black synthetic absorbable suture, 1/2 circle, 70 cm thread

Vicryl Plus is an antibacterial absorbable braided suture. The presence of lactic acid and dodecanol in the synthesis process ensures maximum tensile strength in the first days after implantation.

The suture contains IRGACARE MP (the purest form of Triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. The Triclosan creates a bacteriostatic zone that prevents colonisation of the suture. The coating gives excellent glide through tissue and ideal knotting ability. The special braid structure ensures high tensile strength and excellent handling.

SUTURE: VISI-BLACK, 1/2 CIRCLE, THREAD 70cm, RB-1 PLUS, SH-1 PLUS

PACKS: 36 pcs.

TYPE: Synthetic absorbable braided antibacterial suture.

COLOUR: Violet or undyed (white).

MATERIAL: Polyglactin 910 (copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid). The suture contains IRGACARE* MP (the purest form of TRICLOSAN), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, in an amount not exceeding 270 μg/m

COATING TYPE: Polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate. The coating contains IRGACARE* MP, the purest form of triclosan, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent.

FEATURES: The presence of lactic acid in the synthesis process ensures maximum tensile strength in the first days after implantation. The special coating gives the suture excellent glide through tissue and good knotting ability, especially in narrow, deep fields. The special braid structure ensures high tensile strength and excellent handling.
