Ethicon Vicryl Plus Suture 0-0 - VP2546 Pack of 12

Vicryl Plus Suture is an absorbable, advanced suture designed to give the optimal wound healing with prevention of infection. Ethicon offers it with the proven strength of polyglactin 910 and antibacterial triclosan coating. Vicryl Plus is a secure, flexible soft tissue approximation closure option that gives the surgeon ideal strength by utilizing its braided structure and being absorbable, thus eliminating the need for suture removal. This is more comfortable for the patient and convenient for the caregiver's clinical practice.

Key Benefits

Absorbable Design Enhances Healing and Comfort:Vicryl Plus is a fully absorbable suture, gradually breaking down in the body. This significantly reduces the need for follow-up visits, eliminating suture removal—a major advantage for caregivers managing post-op care and for patients seeking a smoother healing experience.
Antibacterial Protection Reduces Infection Risk:Vicryl Plus features a triclosan-coated surface, offering an added layer of protection against bacterial colonization. This is crucial in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs), supporting aseptic conditions, and reducing recovery complications in both clean and contaminated wounds.
Superior Handling & Knot Security:With its braided polyglactin 910 structures, this suture provides excellent handling, flexibility, and reliable knot security. These characteristics are invaluable during delicate procedures, reducing tissue drag and improving overall surgical efficiency.
Trusted Ethicon Quality and Versatile Usage:Ethicon Vicryl Sutures are trusted globally for soft tissue approximation, including ophthalmic and gynecological surgeries. Available in a wide variety of sizes, they meet the nuanced requirements of healthcare professionals across surgical domains.

Vicryl Plus Sutures are composed of polyglactin 910, a synthetic copolymer of glycolide and lactide, designed for safe absorption within the body. The braided multifilament is coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent that actively resists bacterial growth at the suture line. This composition supports high tensile strength, knot stability, and controlled absorption, making it ideal for a broad range of surgical closures.
