Description

Suture, Vicryl Undyed Coated Braided 5-0 27 RB-1 is a synthetic, absorbable suture that is primarily used for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including ophthalmic procedures, while being contraindicated for cardiovascular and neurological tissues.

The Vicryl suture features a braided structure, which enhances its handling and knot security. The coated material facilitates easier knot tying, providing a secure knot even on the first throw, making it a reliable choice for surgeons. This ease of handling ensures precision during procedures, reducing the risk of complications due to weak or improperly tied knots.

With its absorbable properties, Vicryl suture loses approximately 50% of its tensile strength within three weeks and undergoes complete mass absorption in a period of 56 to 76 days. This predictable absorption rate eliminates the need for suture removal, providing convenience for both patients and healthcare providers.
