5/0 COATED VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial Undyed 45cm PC-3 (12pcs)

Coated VICRYL Plus Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/ or ligation, except for ophthalmic, cardiovascular and neurological tissues.

Coated VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial (polyglactin 910) Sutures offer the same exceptional handling as VICRYL®¹- and are shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonization on the suture.²

Coated VICRYL Plus Sutures provide multiple benefits

• Predictable breaking strength retention (BSR) profile to provide support for 14 to 28 days while tissues heal

• Shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture

• Proprietary suture coating and polymer properties minimize drag force and elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption
