Description

Coated Vicryl Absorbable Suture, Violet Braided, S-14 Needle, Size 6/0, 12", is a sterile synthetic suture composed of Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The violet color enhances intraoperative visibility. Its braided construction and polyglactin coating provide smooth tissue passage, reduced drag, and minimal tissue reaction, making it suitable for precise wound closure.

This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. It is not suitable for cardiovascular or neurological tissue. It is commonly employed in general surgery, ophthalmic repair, reproductive tract procedures, and as a secondary option in orthopedic surgeries requiring soft tissue suturing.

Coated Vicryl demonstrates excellent knot security, particularly on the first throw, reducing the likelihood of knot failure during surgery. Its handling properties are optimized for reliable knot tying and ease of use in confined or delicate surgical fields. The S-14 needle provides controlled penetration with minimal tissue trauma.
