Description

Antibacterial Vicryl Plus Coated Suture, Undyed Braided, Size 4-0, 18", P-2 Needle is an absorbable surgical suture designed for wound closure. It is composed of Polyglactin 910 and coated with Irgacare MP, an antibacterial agent that helps reduce bacterial colonization. The undyed braided structure enhances knot security while maintaining flexibility and ease of handling.

The P-2 needle is a reverse cutting needle, designed to minimize tissue trauma while providing precise penetration. The 3/8 circle needle shape ensures smooth passage through tissue, making it suitable for delicate surgical procedures. The antibacterial properties of this suture create a protective barrier against common pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, MRSA, and MRSE.

This suture is commonly used in general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is frequently employed in plastic surgery, dermatology, gynecology, and ophthalmic procedures. The absorbable nature of the material eliminates the need for suture removal, reducing patient discomfort and follow-up care.
