Description

Coated Vicryl Plus Antibacterial (Polyglactin 910) Suture is an absorbable, braided synthetic suture designed to provide secure wound closure while reducing bacterial colonization. It is coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent that creates a zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, MRSA, and MRSE. The violet color enhances visibility during surgical procedures.

The suture features a reverse cutting needle, which is designed to provide precision in penetrating tough tissues such as skin, fascia, and oral mucosa. The 27-inch length allows for versatile use in multiple surgical applications, including plastic surgery, gynecological procedures, and general soft tissue closure. The braided structure improves handling characteristics, ensuring knot security and easy placement.

The antibacterial coating helps reduce the risk of surgical site infections, offering an advantage in procedures with higher contamination risks. It is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues where extended tensile strength retention is required. The suture's predictable absorption rate allows for reliable wound support during the healing process.
