The Coated Vicryl™ Plus Sutures (Product Code: ETH-VCP416H) from J & J Healthcare Systems are synthetic, absorbable surgical sutures designed to provide reliable wound closure with enhanced antibacterial protection. These sutures are crafted from a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, offering an optimal balance of strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility. With a size of 3-0, a length of 27 inches, and a 1/2 circle taper point needle, these undyed sutures are suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures. They are an excellent choice for healthcare professionals seeking effective and safe wound management solutions.
Key Features:
- Antibacterial Protection: Coated with Irgacare® MP (triclosan), an antibacterial agent, these sutures help reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) by inhibiting bacterial colonization on the suture material. This feature is crucial in minimizing postoperative complications and promoting faster healing.
- Synthetic Absorbable Material: Made from a copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide, Vicryl™ Plus sutures provide consistent and reliable absorption. They maintain tensile strength during the initial healing phase and are absorbed by hydrolysis within 56-70 days, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing patient discomfort.
- Size 3-0 Sutures: The 3-0 size is versatile, making these sutures suitable for closing medium-sized wounds, subcutaneous tissues, and various general surgical procedures. It offers an excellent balance between strength and minimal tissue reaction, ensuring effective wound closure.
- 27-Inch Length: The 27-inch suture length is ideal for a wide range of procedures, providing sufficient material for easy handling and secure knotting. This length is practical for both short and long incisions, ensuring efficient use during surgery.
- 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle: The sutures are equipped with a 1/2 circle taper point needle, designed to easily penetrate and pass through tissue with minimal trauma. The taper point is particularly suitable for soft tissue approximation and ligation, providing smooth and efficient passage through tissue.
- Undyed and Biocompatible: These sutures are undyed, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and minimizing visibility in certain types of tissue, making them ideal for aesthetic closures and patients with sensitivities.
- Excellent Knot Security: The coating of the Vicryl™ Plus sutures ensures smooth handling and excellent knot security, allowing for reliable and consistent tying of surgical knots, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of wound closure.
