Description

The Undyed Braided Coated Vicryl Size 1 Suture is designed for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. It is suitable for applications involving ophthalmic surgeries and general tissue repair, excluding cardiovascular and neurological tissue. The polyglactin 910 composition provides predictable absorption and reliable performance during critical healing phases.

This suture exhibits enhanced handling characteristics due to its braided structure and polyglactin coating, which improves knot security and allows for smooth passage through tissue. Its non-dyed formulation minimizes visibility, reducing the potential for tissue staining or pigment-related reactions.

The product maintains approximately 50% of its initial tensile strength after three weeks, aligning with the healing timeline of most soft tissues. This controlled degradation supports tissue approximation while minimizing the risk of prolonged foreign body presence. The suture’s structure remains intact during the initial healing period before it begins to lose tensile strength gradually.
