Ethicon VICRYL PLUS violet USP 2-0 70cm Reverse cutting 30mm 3/8C (VCP586H)

VICRYL™ PLUS Violet USP 2-0 (VCP586H) 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 through the critical healing phase.

The USP 2-0 size offers increased tensile strength for moderate- to higher-tension closures. The violet colour improves visibility in the operative field, while the braided construction ensures dependable handling and knot security.

Supplied with a 30 mm reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin and firmer tissue closure, delivering precise penetration with a reduced risk of tissue cut-out. The 70 cm strand length provides added flexibility for longer closure runs or larger operative fields.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL™ PLUS VCP586H delivers trusted antibacterial suture performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for dependable veterinary and medical wound closure.
