Ethicon VICRYL PLUS Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Antibacterial Surgical Suture – USP 5-0 – 45 cm – Violet – Single-Armed Taper Point FS-2 Needle 19 mm, 3/8 Circle – VCP391H (Box of 36) Size: 5-0 Colour: Violet Style: Taper Point FS-2

Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of 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 5-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm (18 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed FS-2 taper point needle measuring 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to provide smooth, atraumatic penetration for precise soft tissue and superficial 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 clinical environments.
