This USP 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 70 cm (27 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed KS (Keith Straight) needle. The straight Keith needle design allows direct, controlled tissue penetration, making it suitable for specific surgical techniques where straight-line access and firm needle control are required.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
