Description

Coated VICRYL™ Suture is an absorbable, synthetic, braided suture composed of polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. It is designed for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation where absorbable sutures are appropriate. The suture is coated with a polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate mixture to enhance handling, knot security, and tissue passage.

This specific configuration features an undyed, 2-0 suture with a length of 135 cm (54 inches) supplied as a tie strand without a needle. The absence of dye reduces suture visibility in tissue, making it useful in subcutaneous or aesthetic applications. The tie format is suited for procedures requiring ligatures or manual knotting in deep or difficult-to-access areas.

It is commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, urology, and soft tissue ligation, including peritoneal closure, bowel anastomosis, and subcutaneous approximation. The suture offers consistent performance, flexibility, and predictable absorption, making it a reliable choice for short- to medium-term tissue support.
