Ethicon VICRYL PLUS Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Antibacterial Surgical Suture VCP345H
Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 2-0 violet suture is supplied in a 90 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 36 mm taper point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, offering extended reach and smooth, atraumatic penetration for deeper soft tissue closure while maintaining excellent control.
VICRYL PLUS 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.
