Product Overview
The Johnson & Johnson Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 Suture (J401G) is an absorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. This suture consists of a braided multifilament structure coated with polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate, enhancing smoothness and reducing tissue drag. It provides consistent tensile strength retention, with approximately 75% remaining after two weeks and complete absorption typically occurring within 56–70 days. The attached BV130-5 needle features a precision 3/8 circle taper point, ideal for delicate procedures requiring minimal trauma.
