J & J Healthcare Systems Absorbable Suture with Needle Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 S-29 1/4 Circle Conventional Cutting Spatula Needle Size 6 - 0 Braided

Absorbable Suture with Needle Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 S-29 1/4 Circle Conventional Cutting Spatula Needle Size 6 - 0 Braided

Coated Vicryl absorbable suture with needle is a braided polyglactin 910 suture for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It may fit surgical teams that need a coated absorbable option for workflows including ophthalmic procedures, with clear limits for tissue selection. The suture offers knot security on the first throw, reaches about 50% tensile strength loss after 3 weeks, and is fully absorbed in 56 to 76 days.

Good Fit For

• General soft tissue approximation
• Ligation workflows
• Ophthalmic procedures
• Reproductive tract and general tissue or muscle closure
