Description
Suture, Vicryl Undyed Braided 5-0 18 PC3 is a sterile surgical thread composed of polyglactin 910, a synthetic absorbable polymer known for its versatility and reliability in wound closure. The braided structure of Vicryl enhances its tensile strength, making it suitable for delicate procedures requiring precise tissue approximation. The suture's undyed nature reduces the risk of tissue reaction and enhances biocompatibility during absorption.
Designed with a size of 5-0 and a length of 18 inches, this suture is particularly useful in surgeries where fine suturing is necessary, such as ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, and pediatric procedures. The PC3 needle configuration, featuring a precision cutting edge and a 3/8 circle curvature, facilitates smooth tissue penetration and secure knot tying, ensuring dependable wound closure with minimal tissue trauma.
Vicryl's absorbable properties allow it to gradually break down in the body through hydrolysis over an approximate period of 14 to 21 days. This controlled absorption rate supports optimal wound healing without the need for suture removal in many cases, simplifying post-operative care and reducing patient discomfort.
