Description

Vicryl absorbable suture is a violet monofilament designed for precision in delicate surgical procedures. The suture is composed of synthetic material, providing reliable absorption properties suitable for general tissue and muscle approximation. It is specifically indicated for use in ophthalmic, reproductive tract, and orthopedic surgeries, where controlled absorption and tensile strength are critical.

The spatula needle, coded CS140-6, features a 3/8 circle shape to facilitate smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma. This needle design enhances ease of use during suturing, improving knot tying and knot security on the initial throw. The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag, promoting better wound healing and reducing inflammatory response.

Vicryl’s tensile strength retention allows for 50% strength loss after three weeks, balancing durability and absorption for optimal tissue support during the healing process. The suture undergoes complete mass absorption within 56 to 76 days, minimizing the need for suture removal and reducing patient discomfort.
