Ethicon VICRYL PLUS Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Antibacterial Surgical Suture – USP 4-0 – 27 in (68 cm) – Violet – Single-Armed V-5 Needle – VCP994H (Box of 36) Size: 4-0 Colour: Violet Style: non cutting

Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with the antibacterial agent triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.

This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 27 inch (68 cm) length and is armed with a single-armed V-5 needle. The V-5 taper point needle is designed for smooth passage through delicate and vascular soft tissues, supporting controlled penetration, minimal tissue trauma and accurate placement during fine surgical closure.

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.
