J347H
The Ethicon J347H Coated VICRYL (Polyglactin 910) Suture is a premium, absorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation across a wide range of surgical procedures. It is made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, this suture is coated with a proprietary polyglactin coating to enhance handling. It provides excellent knot security and reduces tissue drag. The suture is braided for strength and coated for smooth performance, while it has an absorbable nature. It is ideal for procedures where long-term suture presence is unnecessary.
Key Features
| Material: | Made from Polyglactin 910, a synthetic copolymer of glycolide and lactide. |
|---|---|
| Absorbable: | The body gradually absorbs the suture through hydrolysis. |
| Needle: | Equipped with a CT-1 taper point needle (36mm, ½ circle), designed for atraumatic tissue penetration. |
| Length: | 36 inches (90 cm). |
| Violet Braided: | The suture is dyed violet to enhance visibility during surgery, making it easier for surgeons to handle and track during complex procedures. |
| Coating: | The suture is coated with polyglactin to reduce friction. |
| Tensile Strength: | VICRYL sutures retain approximately 50% of their tensile strength at 3 weeks and 25% at 4 weeks. |
| Absorption Timeline: | Full absorption of the suture typically occurs between 56-70 days through hydrolysis. |
| Sterilization Type: | ETO |
| Needle Alloy: | 420 |
Benefits
| Enhanced Handling: | The polyglactin coating improves handling, making suturing smoother and reducing drag as the suture passes through tissue. |
|---|---|
| Superior Knot Security: | The braided structure ensures reliable knot strength, which is essential for maintaining tissue approximation throughout the healing process. |
| Minimized Tissue Reaction: | VICRYL sutures are designed to cause minimal tissue inflammation and promote a smooth healing process. |
| Absorbable Convenience: | Being absorbable, the suture does not require removal, which is especially advantageous in cases where removing sutures could cause discomfort or pose difficulties. |
| Versatile Application: | Suitable for a broad range of general soft tissue closure procedures, including general surgery, gynecology, urology, and gastrointestinal surgeries. |
