Overview:
There are many factors that can contribute to surgical site infections
Antibacterial sutures can address one of them
The Coated VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial (polyglactin 910) Suture label has changed to reflect the growing body of evidence
Prospectively planned meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials were performed on the use of suture containing triclosan to lower surgical site infection rates. Examples of such meta-analyses are referenced below.(Ref: 244,245)
After incubation at 37ºC for 24 hours, bacterial colonies (dark red) are visible in all areas of a petri dish except for the "zone of inhibition" around a Plus Antibacterial Suture(Ref: 137,138,146)
Coated VICRYL Plus Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/ or ligation, except for ophthalmic, cardiovascular and neurological tissues.
Coated VICRYL Plus Sutures provide multiple benefits
- Predictable breaking strength retention (BSR) profile to provide support for 14 to 28 days while tissues heal
- Shown in vitro to kill bacteria and inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture
- Proprietary suture coating and polymer properties minimize drag force and elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
Description and Specifications:
Coated VICRYL Plus Sutures offer benefits in a range of surgical applications, including
- Predictable breaking strength retention (BSR) profile to provide support for 14 to 28 days while tissues heal
- Provides protection against colonization of the suture by bacteria commonly associated with SSIs, including
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE)
- Smooth tissue passage, exceptional handling, and knot security
- Multifilament design provides greater pliability than monofilament sutures and unsurpassed knot security
- Proprietary suture coating lowers tissue drag compared with standard braided sutures, and ensures easy knot sliding and knot positioning
- Hydrolytic process elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
