Benefits
- Optimal Performance: The polyglactin coating minimizes friction, making it easier to glide through tissues and offering consistent handling during suturing.
- Reliable Knot Security: Ethicon's proprietary coating provides secure knots, which reduces the risk of knot slippage during wound closure.
- Controlled Absorption Rate: The absorption rate of Vicryl sutures ensures that the suture is gradually absorbed by the body, reducing the need for suture removal and minimizing the risk of infection.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for general soft tissue approximation, including procedures in general surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, and ophthalmology.
- Patient Comfort: Being absorbable, Vicryl sutures eliminate the need for post-operative suture removal, enhancing patient convenience and comfort.
Indications
This suture is recommended for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical disciplines, including general surgery, gynecology, urology, and more. It is not suitable for cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
Absorption Profile
A combination of hydrolysis and enzymatic degradation absorbs Ethicon Coated Vicryl Sutures. It allows the suture to break down naturally within the body. Full absorption occurs in approximately 56-70 days, reducing the need for removal and supporting a smooth healing process.
Packaging
Each box of Ethicon Coated Vicryl Suture contains individually sterile packed sutures.
