Description
Rely on safety and efficiency during surgical procedures: the absorbable suture material VICRYL™ Plus impresses with its antibacterial coating with IRGACARE® MP (Triclosan). This provides you with active protection against bacterial colonisation of the suture – an important contribution to reducing wound infections, especially in high-risk patient groups or demanding surgical situations. Thanks to its proven Polyglactin 910 structure, VICRYL™ Plus offers the same reliable tensile strength and comfortable handling as classic VICRYL™ suture material. The suture coating minimises tissue reaction and ensures smooth gliding – making precise teamwork easier and saving valuable time in the operating theatre. With medium-term wound support (approx. 21 days at 50% residual tensile strength) and complete resorption after about 56–70 days, VICRYL™ Plus is suitable for numerous surgical disciplines: from general and visceral surgery to gynaecology and urology, as well as microsurgery and orthopaedics. Choose a suture material that noticeably supports you in your daily work in a medical practice – for greater comfort, safety and efficiency with every procedure. Prevention of surgical site infec
