Product Overview
Johnson & Johnson Coated Vicryl Suture (J864D) - Absorbable Surgical Suture with Needle
Description:
The Johnson & Johnson Coated Vicryl Suture (J864D) is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture made from polyglactin 910. This sterile, braided suture features a violet-colored coating for reduced tissue drag and improved knot security. It comes pre-attached to a 1/2 circle, taper point needle (size 3-0) for precise suturing. The suture is designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation in general surgery, gynecology, and urology procedures.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down via hydrolysis, with significant tensile strength retention for 3–4 weeks and complete absorption by 56–70 days.
- Coated Design: Reduces tissue drag, enhancing smooth passage through tissue while maintaining knot security.
- Braided Construction: Provides superior handling and knot-tying characteristics compared to monofilament sutures.
- Sterile: Individually packed to ensure safety and prevent infection.
