Description
Coated Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Suture is an absorbable, synthetic suture composed of polyglactin 910 and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonization. The antibacterial coating creates a zone of inhibition against common surgical pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, MRSA, and MRSE. The suture is violet in color for improved visibility during procedures.
The suture is equipped with a reverse cutting needle, which enhances precision when penetrating tough tissues such as skin or fascia. Its braided composition provides excellent handling, knot security, and tensile strength. The 18-inch length makes it suitable for various surgical applications, including general, plastic, and gynecological procedures.
This suture is particularly beneficial in surgical environments where infection risk is a concern. Its absorbable nature eliminates the need for removal, reducing patient discomfort and follow-up procedures. It is not intended for cardiovascular or neurological applications where long-term tensile strength retention is necessary.
