Ethicon Vicryl #1 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture

Ethicon Vicryl #1 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture

DESCRIPTION

Ethicon Vicryl #1 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture and Vicryl Suture both stand out as exceptional surgical tools. Comprising a copolymer blend of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, these sterile sutures are engineered for medical procedures, showcasing their versatility and efficacy in the field. The Vicryl #1 suture, in particular, boasts a unique feature – absorbability. Over time, it gradually dissolves within the body, eliminating the need for removal post-surgery. Its striking violet color enhances visibility during procedures, while the braided structure provides both strength and durability. Ethicon, a respected leader in the medical device industry, manufactures these sutures, ensuring sterility to minimize infection risks in surgical settings.On the other hand, the Vicryl Suture specializes in soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. It shares the copolymer composition, but its absorption mechanism relies on hydrolysis. This means that it progressively loses tensile strength and eventually dissolves, making it unsuitable for long-term tissue approximation. Nevertheless, it retains an impressive 75% of its tensile strength at 14 days, offering dependable wound support during the initial phases of healing. It's crucial, however, to exercise caution when considering its use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues due to its absorbable nature.
