Description

The Undyed Coated VICRYL™ Suture, 6-0, RB-1 Needle, 27" Length, is a synthetic absorbable braided suture composed of polyglactin 910. It is coated with a mixture of polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate to enhance handling and knot security. The suture is undyed, making it suitable for use in situations requiring minimal pigment, such as delicate ophthalmic procedures or visible cosmetic closures.

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, this suture is widely used across various surgical fields including ophthalmology, gynecology, and general surgery. It is not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. Its handling properties allow for easy knot placement and reliable knot security from the first throw, ensuring tissue approximation remains stable during the healing process.

The RB-1 taper point needle ensures gentle tissue penetration with minimal trauma. The fine gauge and pliability of the 6-0 suture provide excellent control in confined or delicate anatomical spaces, making it suitable for microsurgical and subcuticular applications.
