Description

The Vicryl Coated Braided Violet 4-0 Suture, 18" with P3 needle, is a highly versatile and reliable suture designed for a variety of surgical applications. This braided suture, coated for enhanced handling, is primarily used for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. However, it is not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. Excellent knot security, making it an optimal choice for securing delicate sutures with ease.

Vicryl sutures offer superior ease of knot tying and maintain knot security on the first throw, which is crucial for achieving precise closures. They are frequently employed in general tissue and muscle approximation, ligatures, and in reproductive tract and orthopedic surgeries as a secondary option.

The Vicryl suture is fully absorbed by the body within 56 to 76 days, providing a reliable solution for wound closure without the need for suture removal. This makes it particularly useful in procedures where gradual tissue support is required while minimizing patient discomfort and postoperative care.
