What is the resorption time of COATED VICRYL® 4-0 suture reference JV397?
COATED VICRYL® 4-0 suture is completely resorbed by hydrolysis in 56 to 70 days. It retains approximately 75% of its tensile strength at 2 weeks and 50% at 3 weeks post-implantation, making it a suitable choice for sutures requiring temporary tissue support during the healing phase.
For which surgical procedures is the FS-2 triangular 3/8 needle recommended?
The 19 mm FS-2 needle with its triangular reverse cutting section and 3/8 circle curve is particularly suitable for cutaneous closure, subcutaneous sutures and procedures in general, gynaecological and plastic surgery. Its triangular tip facilitates penetration of tissues with moderate resistance such as skin and fascia.
What are the advantages of the COATED VICRYL® violet 75 cm suture coating?
The exclusive coating of COATED VICRYL® composed of polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate ensures smooth tissue passage with reduced friction, better handling and optimal knot security. The violet colour provides excellent visibility in the surgical field, facilitating the surgeon's work.
