Description

Coated VICRYL™ Absorbable Suture, Size 7/0, Violet Braided, with TG160-8 needle, is a sterile synthetic suture composed of Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. The suture is coated with a mixture of polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate, enhancing its handling characteristics and minimizing tissue drag.

This suture is particularly suited for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgeries. It is not indicated for cardiovascular or neurological applications. The TG160-8 needle is a precision-designed microsurgical taper-point needle, suitable for fine tissue work, offering superior penetration with minimal trauma.

VICRYL™ sutures exhibit excellent knot security, with reliable holding strength on the first throw. Their pliability and predictable absorption behavior make them favorable for use in ophthalmic, gynecological, soft tissue, and select orthopedic procedures. The violet color aids in visibility against tissue during placement.
