Designed for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation, these sutures come with a reverse cutting FS-2 needle for precision and control.

• Size: 4-0
• Needle type: Reverse Cutting FS-2 (3/8 circle, 19.0 mm)
• Suture length: 27 inches
• Packaging: Box of 36 sets
• Material composition: 90% glycolide, 10% L-lactide

Compared to industry standards, Ethicon Sutures Vicryl stands out with its consistently smooth absorption profile and exceptional tying characteristics. Unlike earlier models that used natural materials, Vicryl's synthetic composition reduces tissue reaction, making it suitable for general soft tissue use while excluding cardiovascular and neurological applications. The reverse cutting FS-2 needle enhances precision in delicate surgical fields such as ophthalmic procedures.

Key Technical Advantages:
This product combines a braided design with a coated surface to optimize knot security and minimize tissue drag. The absorbable nature of the suture means that removal is unnecessary, reducing patient discomfort and follow-up procedures.

Technology and Performance
Ethicon Sutures Vicryl features advanced polymer technology, ensuring a predictable absorption timeline that maintains tensile strength during critical healing phases. The 4-0 size and 27-inch length offer versatility for a range of soft tissue surgeries, while the FS-2 reverse cutting needle provides excellent penetration and reduced trauma. Together, these attributes deliver superior performance in both clinical environments and surgical specialties requiring precise soft tissue management.
