Description
The Coated VICRYL absorbable suture is a sterile surgical thread crafted from a synthetic copolymer blend of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, known as polyglactin 910. This composition ensures reliable absorbability and minimizes tissue reaction. The suture features an undyed, braided structure that enhances knot security and handling during surgical procedures.
Specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, it's important to note that this suture is not suitable for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues due to its absorbable nature. The suture is coated to facilitate smooth passage through tissues, reducing friction and tissue trauma during placement.
Each package contains 36 units, conveniently organized into 3 dozen boxes within a single case. This packaging configuration ensures ease of storage and accessibility in clinical settings. With a needle size of FS-2 and a length of 27 inches, this suture offers versatility and precision for a wide range of surgical applications.
