Coated Vicryl™ Plus Antibacterial Sutures are absorbable, sterile synthetic sutures composed of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Designed to provide reliable soft tissue approximation or ligation, these sutures incorporate Irgacare‡ MP (Triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. This unique composition helps inhibit bacterial growth, including pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA, which frequently cause surgical site infections.
Key Features
- Reverse Cutting Needles (FS–2): The body of this needle is triangular in cross section, having the apex cutting edge on the outside of the needle curvature. This improves the strength of the needle and particularly increases its resistance to bending.
- Absorbable Suture: Absorption via hydrolysis, complete in 56–70 days.
- Antibacterial Protection: Contains Triclosan, effective against common surgical site infection pathogens.
- Smooth Passage: Coated and braided for easy handling, secure knot tying, and smooth passage through tissue.
- Synthetic Composition: Minimal tissue reaction, ensuring patient safety and comfort.
- Colour: Violet, for easy visibility during surgery.
- Typical Use: Fascia closure, subcutaneous fat, joint capsules, and uterus surgeries.
Always refer to the instructions for use included in each package for complete details.
