Description
Johnson & Johnson Ethicon Vicryl Plus (VP2350) is a sterile, synthetic absorbable surgical suture intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. This braided suture is composed of Polyglactin 910 and is coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent, to help reduce the risk of infection at the surgical site. Its design ensures it can be smoothly integrated into the body's natural healing processes, providing support for 14 to 28 days while tissues heal.
Antibacterial Coating: Coated with IRGACARE MP (Triclosan), which helps to inhibit the colonization of bacteria on the suture. Absorbable Material: Made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% lactide, which is absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, eliminating the need for suture removal. Braided Construction: The multifilament, braided design offers good handling characteristics and knot security. Predictable Strength Retention: Provides a predictable breaking strength retention profile to support tissue during the critical healing period of 14 to 28 days. Violet Color for Visibility: The suture is dyed violet to enhance visibility against tissues during surgical procedures.
