What is the difference between Vicryl Plus and standard Vicryl?
Vicryl Plus suture is distinguished by its Triclosan antibacterial coating which inhibits bacterial colonization on the suture. It offers the same mechanical and resorption properties as standard Vicryl while providing additional protection against surgical site infections.
What are the indications for the CT PLUS needle on reference VCPV327H?
The CT PLUS needle is a round needle with a conical point specifically designed for suturing soft tissues. It is particularly suitable for general surgery, digestive and gynecological surgery, as well as for fascial and deep plane closure where atraumatic penetration is required.
How long does Vicryl Plus 2-0 suture retain its tensile strength?
Vicryl Plus 2-0 suture retains approximately 75% of its initial tensile strength at 14 days post-implantation and approximately 50% at 21 days. Complete resorption by hydrolysis occurs between 56 and 70 days, making it a suitable choice for tissues requiring temporary support during wound healing.
