Ethicon VICRYL Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Surgical Suture – USP 3-0 (Metric 2) – 75 cm – Violet – Single-Armed Conventional Cutting FS-3 Needle 24 mm, 3/8 Circle – W9444 (Box of 12) Size: 3-0 Colour: Violet Style: Conventional Cutting FS-3

Ethicon VICRYL is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (polyglactin 910). The braided and coated construction enhances handling characteristics, knot security and smooth tissue passage during soft tissue approximation procedures.

This USP 3-0 (metric 2) violet suture is supplied in a 75 cm (30 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed FS-3 conventional cutting needle measuring 24 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to deliver sharp, controlled penetration for precise skin and superficial tissue closure.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and have been shown to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
