Ethicon COATED VICRYL Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Surgical Suture J9558G

Ethicon Coated VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics, knot security and tissue glide. Absorption occurs by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during the early stages of wound healing.

This USP 8-0 violet suture is supplied in a short 15 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 6.5 mm reverse spatula needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, specifically designed for ophthalmic and ultra-fine microsurgical procedures requiring exceptional control and accuracy.

Coated VICRYL sutures provide excellent pliability, smooth passage through delicate tissues and secure knot formation, making them well suited to high-precision surgical environments. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist clinical use.
