Ethicon VICRYL PLUS Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Antibacterial Surgical Suture VCP2576G
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 1 violet suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 31 mm taper point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed for smooth, atraumatic tissue penetration while maintaining excellent control during soft tissue 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 12 for specialist, low-volume and procedure-specific surgical use.
