Description

Key Features

  • Product: Coated VICRYL Suture

  • Material: Polyglactin 910 (a synthetic, braided copolymer)

  • Suture Type: Absorbable

    • This means the body will break it down and absorb it over time, so it does not need to be removed.

    • It typically loses about 50% of its tensile strength after 3 weeks and is completely absorbed in 56 to 70 days.

  • Coating: The suture is coated to allow it to pass smoothly through tissue and to help knots slide down securely.

  • Suture Size: 4-0 (a common size, with 0 being heavy and 11-0 being very fine)

  • Color: Violet (this dye is used to make the suture more visible against tissue)

  • Length: 18 inches (45 cm)

  • Needle Code: FS-2

  • Needle Type: 19 mm, Reverse Cutting

    • A reverse cutting needle has a cutting edge on the outer curve, making it strong and ideal for penetrating tough tissue like skin or for plastic surgery.

  • Needle Shape: 3/8 Circle

Common Uses
