Description

Precision Cosmetic VICRYL™ Coated Suture, Size 4-0, 18", Undyed, is a sterile, absorbable braided suture composed of polyglactin 910, a synthetic copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide. The suture is designed for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in procedures that require dependable handling and absorbability.

This suture features a polyglactin coating that enhances its pliability, providing smoother passage through tissue and reducing drag. The braided structure allows for strong, secure knot tying, and knot security is achieved on the first throw. Its undyed form makes it suitable for cosmetic and ophthalmic applications where minimal visibility is preferred.

Common clinical uses include ophthalmic procedures, muscle or tissue approximation, ligatures, reproductive tract surgeries, and as a secondary choice in orthopedic interventions. Due to its absorption profile and handling properties, it is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues but is well suited for aesthetic and delicate tissue closures.
