Description

Violet Coated Vicryl 0 CT-1 CR 27" Suture is a braided, absorbable synthetic suture designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. The suture is coated to enhance smooth passage through tissue, reducing friction and improving handling. Its violet coloration allows for easy visibility during surgical procedures. 

This suture maintains knot security and ease of tying, important factors in surgical outcomes. It provides consistent tensile strength to support wound closure during critical healing periods. Approximately 50% tensile strength is retained at three weeks post-implantation, supporting early tissue approximation without undue tension. 

Common uses include general soft tissue repair, muscle approximation, and reproductive tract surgeries. Its versatility also extends to ophthalmic and orthopedic procedures, often considered a secondary choice in the latter. The coated nature improves handling characteristics compared to uncoated braided fibers, allowing for smoother, less traumatic suture passage through tissues.
