Description

The Coated Vicryl Suture, Undyed, 4-0 PS-2 18", is a high-performance absorbable suture made from polyglactin 910, a synthetic polymer. The suture is coated to enhance its handling properties and to reduce tissue drag during insertion, making it easier to work with in surgical procedures. Its absorbable nature ensures that it will break down in the body over time, eliminating the need for removal after the healing process is complete.

This suture is specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, which includes its use in various surgical procedures such as ophthalmic surgeries. The long-lasting tensile strength of Coated Vicryl ensures that tissues remain securely approximated during the healing phase, while the gradual absorption allows the body to naturally take over without the need for a second intervention.

The Coated Vicryl Suture is undyed, offering a neutral appearance to minimize tissue irritation and ensure better visibility during surgery. The PS-2 needle configuration is well-suited for delicate tissue handling, providing precision and control in surgical procedures. res.
