Description

Coated Vicryl Plus Antibacterial Suture, Violet Braided, Ct-1 Needle, Size 0, 27" is designed for use in surgical procedures requiring absorbable sutures with enhanced antibacterial properties. The suture is composed of polyglactin 910, a synthetic, braided material known for its strength and predictable absorption profile. The coating on the suture improves handling characteristics and facilitates smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma during suturing.

The taper point needle, Ct-1, is designed with a 1/2 circle shape, allowing precise penetration and minimal tissue damage. The needle's stainless steel construction provides strength and resistance to bending, ensuring accurate placement. The combination of the needle and suture allows for effective soft tissue approximation and ligation, suitable for general surgical applications.

This suture incorporates Plus antibacterial technology, which has demonstrated efficacy in vitro by creating a zone of inhibition against common surgical site infection pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE).
