Colour:, Violet, Suture Type:, Synthetic Braided, Absorption Profile:, Absorbable : 56 – 70 Days (Average 63 Days), Suture Diameter:, USP 2-0, Suture Material:, Polyglactin 910, Coating:, Calcium Stearate, Tensile Strength:, 75% retention at 14 days, 50% retention at 21 days, 25% retention at 28 days, Product Code NW2317, , Needle Length:, 30mm, , Suture Length:, 90 cm, , Needle Description:, 30mm, 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle, Product Code NW2382, Needle Length:, 40mm, Suture Length:, 90 cm, Needle Description:, 40mm, 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle, The Coated Vicryl Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, The Coated Vicryl Suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required, Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of Coated Vicryl Suture occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.

Absorption time 56-70 days (63 days in Avg). Strength Retention Profile – 75% @ 14 days, 50% @ 21 days, 25% @ 28 days. Sharp enough to penetrate and carry suture through tissue with minimal resistance. Slim as possible without compromising strength. Rigid to resist bending, yet ductile to resist breaking. Stable in the grasp of the needle holder.
