Ethicon Vicryl #6-0 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture (Nw2670)

• Vicryl Suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide.
• 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 and neurological tissues.
• 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.

 BENEFITS:-

• Braided suture for easy handling and secure knot tying
