The Coated Vicryl™ TAPERCUT Sutures are specifically designed for superior tissue approximation in a range of surgical applications, including ophthalmic procedures, peripheral nerve anastomosis, and microsurgeries requiring high precision. Known for their absorbable and synthetic properties, these sutures provide reliable performance and minimal tissue reaction, making them a trusted choice among healthcare professionals.
Key Features:
- TAPERCUT Needles: Feature a unique design that combines the cutting power needed for dense tissue with a rounded body to minimize trauma, enabling easy penetration and smooth transitions.
- Braided Construction: Delivers ease of handling and secure knot tying, enhancing suture stability and surgeon confidence.
- Coated for Smooth Passage: The coated suture offers low friction and facilitates smooth passage through tissue, reducing tissue drag and easing knot placement.
- Absorbable: Fully absorbed through hydrolysis within 56-70 days, reducing the need for suture removal.
- Undyed and Synthetic: Minimises tissue reaction.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in soft tissue approximation across fascia closures, subcutaneous fat layers, joint capsules, and uterine procedures.
