Description

The Coated Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Suture is a sterile, synthetic absorbable surgical suture crafted from a copolymer comprising 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. This suture is designed to provide excellent tissue support during wound healing processes. One notable feature of this suture is its coating, which incorporates Irgacare MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. This unique addition helps reduce the risk of bacterial colonization along the suture line, contributing to post-operative infection prevention efforts.

Primarily intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures, excluding ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and neurological applications, this suture offers versatility across a range of surgical settings. The undyed, braided construction enhances the suture's visibility against various tissue backgrounds, aiding in precise placement and knot tying. The suture's size, 3-0, and length, 27 inches, make it suitable for a variety of surgical interventions.

Each box contains 36 individually packaged sutures, ensuring sterility and ease of handling in clinical settings. The combination of its absorbable nature, antibacterial properties, and reliable performance characteristics makes the Coated Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Suture a valuable addition to surgical supplies, supporting optimal patient outcomes.
