- Coated Vicryl™ Plus Antibacterial (Polyglactin 910) Suture is a synthetic absorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The suture contains Irgacare MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent.
- Coated Vicryl™ Plus Antibacterial (polyglactin 910) Sutures offer benefits in a range of surgical applications including,
- Predictable breaking strength retention (BSR) profile to provide support for 14 to 28 days while tissues heal,
- Provides protection against colonization of the suture by bacteria commonly associated with SSIs including,
- Staphylococcus aureus.
- Staphylococcus epidermidis.
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE).
- Smooth tissue passage, exceptional handling, and knot security.
- Multifilament design provides greater pliability than monofilament sutures and unsurpassed knot security.
- Proprietary suture coating lowers tissue drag compared with standard braided sutures, and ensures easy knot sliding and knot positioning.
- Hydrolytic process elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
- Carefully selecting a surgical suture needle is a critical component in achieving excellent wound closure outcomes. The ideal surgical needle should be:
- Sharp enough to penetrate and carry suture through tissue with minimal resistance.
- Slim as possible without compromising strength.
- Rigid to resist bending, yet ductile to resist breaking.
- Stable in the grasp of the needle holder.
- Ethicon offers over 200 types of surgical suture needles, allowing clinicians great flexibility to select the most appropriate needle for the specific needs of the tissue being repaired.
- It is available in Box of 36 Suture Sets.
Application:
- Coated Vicryl™ Plus Antibacterial Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, except for ophthalmic, cardiovascular and neurological tissues.
