Ethicon Vicryl #0 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture
Ethicon Vicryl #0 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture
DESCRIPTION
Ethicon Absorbable Violet Braided Suture is a sterile surgical suture renowned for its efficacy in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. Comprising a synthetic copolymer composed of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, it offers a reliable solution for medical practitioners. However, it is essential to note that this suture should not be employed in cardiovascular and neurological tissues. One of its defining features is its absorbable nature, making it particularly suitable for applications where extended tissue approximation is unnecessary. Coated VICRYL Suture is gradually absorbed via hydrolysis, which initiates a decline in tensile strength and is subsequently followed by a reduction in mass. This characteristic ensures that the suture naturally dissolves over time, eliminating the need for suture removal, which can minimize patient discomfort and enhance recovery outcomes. Coated VICRYL Suture is a valuable tool in the hands of surgeons, promoting effective wound closure while facilitating the body's natural healing processes.
