This suture is especially suitable for procedures involving ophthalmic, reproductive tract, and orthopedic tissues.

The suture’s violet color provides high visibility, which aids in accurate placement and handling. It is engineered for effective tissue approximation and ligation, making it a versatile choice for general tissue, muscle approximation, and ligature applications. However, it is not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological tissues. With a loss of 50% tensile strength after three weeks, it is designed for temporary use, with complete mass absorption occurring between 56 to 76 days.

This suture’s smooth passage through tissue and its low tissue reactivity contribute to optimal surgical outcomes. The Vicryl Coated Braided Violet 4-0 18 FS2 combines reliability with advanced features, making it a trusted choice for a range of surgical needs. It offers the durability and performance required for effective and efficient surgical procedures.
