What is the resorption time of COATED VICRYL® 2-0 reference JV453?
COATED VICRYL® 2-0 suture is an absorbable suture that maintains approximately 75% of its initial tensile strength at 2 weeks and 50% at 3 weeks. Complete resorption by hydrolysis occurs between 56 and 70 days after implantation.
For which types of surgical procedures is the FS-1 triangular 3/8 needle, 24 mm length suitable?
The FS-1 triangular needle with 3/8 curvature and 24 mm length is particularly suited for cutaneous and subcutaneous closure, suturing in general, gynaecological and plastic surgery. Its triangular reverse cutting section facilitates penetration of resistant tissues such as skin.
What are the advantages of the COATED VICRYL® JV453 suture coating?
The specific coating composed of polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate gives COATED VICRYL® excellent tissue gliding, reduces friction during passage through tissues, facilitates knot formation and improves overall suture handling during the procedure.
