Ethicon VICRYL PLUS Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Antibacterial Surgical Suture VCP829E

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 1 violet suture is supplied in an extended 60 inch (150 cm) length and is armed with a single-armed V-40 LP needle. The V-40 LP taper point needle is engineered for smooth passage through soft tissue with low penetration force, making it suitable for deep cavity and long-reach surgical procedures requiring precise 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 24 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
