Description

Coated Vicryl Absorbable Suture, Violet Braided, G-6 Needle, Size 6/0, 18", is a synthetic, absorbable, braided suture composed primarily of Polyglactin 910. The violet coloration ensures improved visibility during surgical procedures, and the coating facilitates smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma. The G-6 needle, a spatula-type needle, is designed for precision in fine tissue work, especially in ophthalmic and delicate surgical areas.

This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures. It is not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological applications. Common areas of use include ligatures, muscle or fascia closure, procedures in the reproductive tract, and as a secondary option in orthopedic surgeries requiring soft tissue repair.

The suture exhibits excellent handling characteristics. Its braided construction provides flexibility and consistent knot security, especially on the first throw. This ensures effective wound closure with reduced risk of knot slippage, enhancing overall procedural reliability and efficiency during surgery.
