Description

Coated Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Suture, undyed braided with SH needle, size 3-0, 8 x 18", is designed for effective soft tissue approximation and ligation. The suture features a taper point needle, allowing smooth tissue penetration and minimizing trauma during surgical procedures. This needle type enhances precision in suturing delicate tissues, promoting optimal healing conditions.

The suture material is coated polyglactin 910, which provides excellent handling characteristics, including ease of knot tying and secure knot holding. The braided structure offers superior tensile strength and flexibility, supporting tissue during the critical healing phase. The coating reduces tissue drag, improving surgeon control and patient outcomes.

Antibacterial properties are integrated through Irgacare MP technology, proven in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonization. This suture effectively creates a zone of inhibition against common surgical site infection pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, MRSA, and MRSE. This feature reduces infection risk and supports sterile wound healing.
