Description

Coated Vicryl Absorbable Suture is designed for effective soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its braided structure ensures enhanced handling and knot security, making it suitable for a variety of surgical procedures. This suture is specifically indicated for use in general soft tissue, including ophthalmic surgeries, but is contraindicated in cardiovascular and neurological tissue applications.

The suture's coating reduces tissue drag, allowing for smooth passage through tissue while minimizing trauma. The violet coloration provides excellent visibility during surgery, facilitating precise placement. The S-28 needle, a conventional cutting needle with a 1/4 circle shape, supports efficient penetration and control, making it a reliable choice for delicate surgical sites.

Tensile strength retention is maintained at 50% after three weeks, supporting wound closure during critical early healing phases. Complete absorption occurs within 56 to 76 days, ensuring minimal long-term tissue reaction. This controlled absorption profile makes it suitable for tissues requiring moderate healing duration.
