Absorbable Suture with Needle Coated Vicryl™ Polyglactin 910 PS-2 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 2 - 0 Braided

This absorbable suture with needle uses coated Vicryl polyglactin 910 in a braided size 2-0 format. It fits buyers looking for a suture for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, while avoiding cardiovascular or neurological tissue use. The suture pairs with a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle and offers ease of knot tying with knot security on the first throw.
