Absorbable Suture with Needle Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 P-3 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 5-0 Braided

Coated Vicryl is engineered for superior knot security, providing excellent grip from the very first throw to help increase efficiency during surgical procedures.

This suture features a predictable degradation profile: it retains significant strength early on, loses 50% of its tensile strength within 3 weeks, and achieves complete absorption between 56 and 76 days.

Yes, it is highly optimized for delicate work. It comes with a 13 mm P-3 precision reverse cutting needle, designed specifically for controlled penetration and minimal tissue trauma in areas like ophthalmic and general soft tissue approximation.

No, this suture is contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is intended specifically for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic, reproductive tract, and orthopedic applications.

The braided structure of the Polyglactin 910 material offers two main advantages: it provides excellent handling characteristics for the surgeon and ensures reliable, consistent knot security compared to monofilament alternatives.

The P-3 designation indicates a precision reverse cutting needle shaped as a 3/8 circle. It is a specialized needle designed for accuracy and controlled tissue entry.

This is a synthetic suture made from Polyglactin 910. Synthetic sutures are often preferred for their uniform absorption rates and lower tissue reactivity compared to natural materials.

Each unit contains a 12-strand pack of the Coated Vicryl sutures with their respective P-3 needles.

Yes, these are dyed violet, which is a common standard in surgical settings to provide high visibility against tissue during placement and removal.

The P-3 needle included in this configuration has a length of 13 mm.
