Description

The Vicryl Coated Braided Undyed Suture, size 3-0 and 27 inches long, is specifically formulated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This suture is versatile and applicable in various surgical procedures, including ophthalmic operations, but is not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.

The suture is coated to facilitate ease of knot tying and provide secure knot formation with the initial throw. The coating reduces friction, allowing for smooth handling and secure knot placement. The braided structure enhances the suture’s overall strength and reliability, making it a suitable choice for diverse surgical applications.

It is commonly used for approximating general tissue and muscle, ligatures, and in procedures involving the reproductive tract and ophthalmic surgeries. It is also considered a secondary option for orthopedic procedures. The suture’s versatility makes it valuable in various surgical settings.

The Vicryl Coated Braided Undyed Suture experiences a loss of approximately 50% of its tensile strength after three weeks. This characteristic is important for understanding its performance and managing the suture’s role in the healing process.
