Description

The Suture, Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Undyed 4-0 18 P-3 is a specialized, coated, braided surgical suture designed for enhanced infection control. This suture is composed of Polyglactin 910, a material known for its reliable performance in various surgical procedures.

The suture features a reverse cutting needle, which is designed to minimize trauma and facilitate precise tissue penetration. The needle's cutting edge is particularly effective for suturing through tough or dense tissue types, ensuring secure and consistent closure.

A notable attribute of the Vicryl Plus Antibacterial suture is its proven in vitro efficacy against common surgical site pathogens. It has been demonstrated to create a zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, MRSA, and MRSE. This antimicrobial property enhances the suture’s ability to reduce the risk of postoperative infections, providing an added layer of protection for the patient.

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 Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, except for ophthalmic, cardiovascular and neurological tissues
