Description

Vicryl Coated Braided Undyed Suture, Size 3-0, 18 Ct1, is an absorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Composed of polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, this suture offers predictable absorption and reliable tensile strength during the critical healing period. 

The suture features a specialized coating that reduces tissue drag and facilitates smooth passage through tissues, minimizing trauma and allowing precise surgical manipulation. Its undyed coloration is advantageous for procedures where colored sutures may interfere with tissue visibility or aesthetics. 

Complete absorption of Vicryl occurs within 56 to 70 days through hydrolysis, eliminating the need for suture removal. The braided structure promotes uniform absorption and reduces the risk of premature suture failure. The suture’s biocompatibility minimizes tissue reaction and inflammation, contributing to optimal wound healing conditions.
