Product Overview
Johnson & Johnson Coated Vicryl Suture - J571G
Description:
The Johnson & Johnson Coated Vicryl Suture (J571G) is an absorbable surgical suture composed of Polyglactin 910, a synthetic braided material coated for smooth tissue passage. This suture features a violet-braided design for visibility and comes pre-attached to a 1/4 circle, 18 mm spatula needle (S-14) for precise suturing in delicate tissue. Suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, it provides predictable absorption with minimal tissue reaction.
Features:
- Made from Polyglactin 910, offering high tensile strength and controlled absorption.
- Coated for reduced tissue drag and improved knot security.
- Violet-braided construction enhances visibility during procedures.
- Spatula needle (S-14) ensures precision in ophthalmic and fine tissue applications.
Specifications:
- Suture Size: 5-0 (USP)
- Needle Type: 1/4 circle, spatula (S-14)
- Needle Length: 18 mm
- Absorption Profile: Typically absorbs within 56–70 days via hydrolysis.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for ophthalmic surgeries, microsurgical procedures, or general soft tissue closure where fine, absorbable sutures are required. Ensure proper knotting technique (3-4 throws) to maximize security due to the braided structure. Store in a dry,?? environment before use.
