Coated Vicryl® Sutures Size 5-0 | 27” | RB-1 | 1/2 Circle Undyed

The J213H Coated VICRYL® Sutures are a premium choice for surgeons seeking reliable and effective absorbable sutures. Specifically designed for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, these sutures are an essential tool in both complex and routine surgical procedures.

Key Features:

• Size 5-0: Ideal for delicate tissue repairs, providing the precision and control required for intricate surgeries.
• Length: 27 inches (70 cm), offering sufficient length for a variety of suturing techniques without the need for multiple sutures.
• Needle: RB-1 (Reverse Cutting) | 1/2 Circle - This needle type ensures easy penetration and minimal trauma to the tissue, especially useful in areas requiring a more delicate approach.
• Material: Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) - Known for its excellent handling properties and predictable absorption rate, ensuring optimal wound support during the healing process.
• Coating: The VICRYL® suture is coated with a mixture of Polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate, enhancing smooth passage through tissue and reducing friction.
• Absorbability: Absorbable within 56-70 days, providing temporary support until the tissue can sustain itself, thus eliminating the need for suture removal.
• Tensile Strength: Maintains high tensile strength initially and degrades at a consistent and predictable rate.

Applications:

• Suitable for a variety of procedures including general closure, plastic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and more.
• Effective in both superficial and deeper tissue layers, ensuring versatility in surgical applications.

Advantages:

• Enhanced Handling: The coating and flexibility of VICRYL® sutures provide surgeons with excellent knot security and ease of use.
• Reduced Tissue Reaction: The absorbable nature and smooth passage of the suture minimize tissue irritation and inflammation.
• Reliable Absorption Profile: Consistent absorption rates align with the healing process, ensuring wound support without the need for additional interventions.
