Ethicon VICRYL PLUS undyed USP 4-0 45cm Reverse cutting 19mm 3/8C (VCP292ZH)

VICRYL™ PLUS Undyed USP 4-0 (VCP292ZH) is manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with triclosan, providing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against common surgical-site pathogens. The antibacterial coating helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting a reduced risk of surgical site infection compared with standard braided sutures.

As a standard absorbable VICRYL™ suture (not RAPIDE), it typically retains approximately 50 % tensile strength at 2–3 weeks, with complete absorption occurring within 56–70 days. This predictable absorption profile makes it well suited to procedures requiring reliable wound support during the early healing phase.

The USP 4-0 size is ideal for fine skin and superficial soft-tissue closure where precision and minimal tissue trauma are critical. The undyed suture minimises tissue marking and supports improved cosmetic results. The braided construction ensures excellent handling characteristics and secure knotting.

Supplied with a 19 mm reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin closure, providing controlled penetration with reduced risk of tissue cut-out. The 45 cm strand length supports efficient handling in routine procedures.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL™ PLUS VCP292ZH delivers trusted antibacterial suture performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for dependable veterinary and medical wound closure.
