Description

The Undyed Ethicon Coated Vicryl Braided Absorbable Prime Reverse Cutting 1/2C 4-0 PS-4 18" Suture is designed for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its braided construction provides enhanced handling properties, allowing for secure and precise suturing in various surgical procedures.

This suture features a prime reverse cutting needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, optimized for delicate tissue penetration and minimal trauma. The needle's design ensures smooth passage through tissue while maintaining strength and precision, making it suitable for ophthalmic and general soft tissue applications. 

Tensile strength retention is significant, with approximately 50% strength remaining after three weeks, supporting tissue healing during critical phases. The material undergoes complete mass absorption within 56 to 76 days, providing effective wound support while minimizing long-term foreign body presence. 

• Coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910) is both absorbable and synthetic for long-lasting tensile strength
• For general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures
