Description

Coated Vicryl Absorbable Suture, Violet Braided, Size 3/0, 27" with X-1 Needle is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This suture is commonly utilized in various surgical procedures, including ophthalmic applications, where secure tissue closure is critical. It is important to note that this suture is not intended for cardiovascular or neurological tissue use due to its absorption profile and tensile strength characteristics.

The suture’s coated braided construction enhances handling, providing excellent knot security and ease of tying. The coating allows for smooth passage through tissue, reducing tissue drag and trauma. Knot security is optimized on the first throw, which contributes to efficient surgical performance and reliable wound closure. 

In clinical practice, this suture is frequently employed for general tissue and muscle approximation, ligatures, reproductive tract surgeries, and ophthalmic procedures. It is also considered a secondary option for orthopedic surgeries, offering a balance between strength and absorbability.
