Coated Vicryl Suture with PS-2 Needle

Coated Vicryl Suture with PS-2 Needle is approved for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation procedures, including ophthalmic procedures, but not in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. In vivo studies show that at 2 weeks after implantation, VICRYL suture retains approximately 75% of its original tensile strength. At 3 weeks, sizes 6-0 and larger retain approximately 50% of their original strength, while sizes 7-0 and smaller retain approximately 40% of their original strength. For sizes 6-0 and larger, approximately 25% of the original strength is retained after four weeks.
