Description

The Vicryl Coated Braided Undyed 5-0 18 P3 Suture is designed to meet the needs of various surgical procedures requiring a reliable and effective suture. This suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. It is not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.

Vicryl sutures are known for their high tensile strength, which is maintained at 50% even after three weeks, making it suitable for applications where moderate strength is required for tissue approximation. The suture is designed to be absorbed completely by the body within 56 to 76 days, minimizing the need for suture removal and reducing the risk of long-term complications.

The Vicryl Coated Braided Undyed 5-0 18 P3 Suture is ideal for a range of surgical procedures, including general tissue and muscle approximation, ligatures, and ophthalmic and orthopedic applications. Its undyed, braided composition allows for superior handling and knot security, making it a versatile choice for various surgical needs.

• Coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910) is both absorbable and synthetic for long-lasting tensile strength
• For general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures
