NW2464-Compound Curve Reverse Cutting, 5-0, VICRYL UndyedBraided 45 cm

Coated VICRYL Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.

This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required.

Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of Coated VICRYL Suture occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.
