Description

The Vicryl Coated Braided Undyed Suture, 7-0, 18" P1, is a versatile and reliable suture designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This suture is particularly well-suited for use in ophthalmic procedures but is not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological tissues. Its unique coated braided structure enhances its handling properties, making knot tying easier and ensuring excellent knot security with the first throw.

With its high tensile strength and excellent knot-tying capability, the Vicryl Coated Braided Suture is frequently used in various surgical procedures including general tissue and muscle approximation, reproductive tract surgeries, ophthalmic operations, and orthopedic procedures as a secondary choice.

The suture undergoes a gradual loss of tensile strength, retaining approximately 50% of its original strength after three weeks. Complete mass absorption occurs within 56 to 76 days, ensuring the suture is absorbed by the body without leaving any residual material. This makes it a preferred choice for procedures where absorbable sutures are required for a safe and effective healing process.

• Coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910) is both absorbable and synthetic for long-lasting tensile strength
• For general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures
