Frequently asked questions
How reliable is the knot security?
Coated Vicryl is highly regarded in clinical settings for providing excellent knot security on the first throw, allowing for reliable and efficient surgical procedures.
What is the absorption timeframe?
This suture is engineered for a predictable breakdown:
- It loses 50% of its tensile strength after 3 weeks.
- Complete mass absorption occurs within 56 to 76 days.
Is this suture suitable for cardiovascular surgery?
No, this product is explicitly contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is intended for general soft tissue approximation, muscle repair, ligatures, reproductive, and orthopedic surgeries.
What procedures is this best for?
It is highly versatile and commonly utilized in:
- General soft tissue approximation
- Muscle repair
- Ligation
- Gynecological procedures
- Orthopedic soft tissue repairs
Why choose a braided suture?
The braided construction provides improved handling and knot security compared to monofilament alternatives, making it easier for surgeons to manipulate during complex procedures.
What type of needle is included?
This suture comes with a 48 mm 1/2 circle taper point needle made from high-quality stainless steel, which is designed for precise tissue penetration and durability.
Is this suture synthetic?
Yes, Coated Vicryl is a synthetic, absorbable Polyglactin 910 suture designed to provide consistent, predictable performance in the body.
Are these provided in sterile packaging?
