Ethicon Vicryl synthetic absorbable suture, 1/2 circle taper point needle, 70 cm thread

Vicryl  is an absorbable braided suture, versatile across a range of surgical applications.

Wound-holding strength lasts up to 35 days after implantation. On superficial layers the stitches fall out spontaneously. The calcium stearate component coating the thread acts as a lubricant, reducing the risk of plaque detachment and drag. The presence of lactic acid in the synthesis process ensures maximum tensile strength in the first days after implantation. The special braid structure ensures high tensile strength and excellent handling. The lactide and glycolide component affects the tensile strength loss profile.

SUTURE: TAPER POINT NEEDLE 1/2 CIRCLE, THREAD 70cm

PACKS: 36 pcs.

TYPE:  S ynthetic absorbable braided antibacterial suture.

COLOUR: Violet or undyed (white).

MATERI AL : 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 270μg/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.
