Description

Violet Coated Vicryl 1 Ct-1 27" Suture is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of polyglactin 910. It features a braided structure coated to enhance smooth passage through tissues and reduce friction during suturing. The violet coloration improves visibility in the surgical field, aiding precise placement and handling. 

The suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures. It is not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological tissue repair due to its absorption profile and tensile strength characteristics. The suture’s design allows for ease of knot tying, with excellent knot security achieved on the first throw, contributing to efficient and secure wound closure.

Common clinical applications include approximation and ligation of general tissue and muscle, reproductive tract procedures, ophthalmic surgeries, and selected orthopedic uses where absorbable sutures are preferred as a second choice. Its versatility supports a wide range of surgical specialties while minimizing tissue reaction and optimizing healing.
