Description

Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Sutures are designed to provide enhanced protection against infection during and after surgery. The suture is coated with an antibacterial agent that has been proven in vitro to create a zone of inhibition against common surgical site pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, MRSA, and MRSE. This added protection makes it ideal for use in surgeries with a higher risk of infection.

The suture is equipped with a reverse cutting needle, which allows for a more efficient and precise penetration of tissues. The cutting edge of the needle is designed to minimize tissue trauma and reduce the risk of damage during insertion, ensuring smoother and quicker suturing. This feature enhances overall surgical performance, particularly in delicate procedures.

Vicryl Plus offers the benefits of a synthetic absorbable material, with the suture being designed for reliable tensile strength retention for approximately three weeks, followed by gradual absorption over time. The antibacterial coating helps reduce the chances of postoperative infections, which can result in complications and delayed healing.
