Ethicon VICRYL PLUS undyed USP 3-0 70cm Conventional Cutting PC 19mm 3/8C (VCP9571H)

VICRYL™ PLUS Undyed USP 3-0 (VCP9571H) is manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with triclosan, providing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against common surgical site pathogens. This antibacterial coating helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting reduced surgical site infection risk 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 controlled absorption profile makes it suitable for procedures requiring reliable wound support throughout the early and mid-stages of healing.

The USP 3-0 size provides an effective balance of strength and handling for routine skin and soft tissue closure. The undyed suture minimises tissue marking and supports improved cosmetic outcomes where reduced visibility is preferred. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and dependable knot security.

Supplied with a 19 mm conventional cutting PC needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin and firmer tissue closure, offering controlled cutting action and precise needle placement. The 70 cm strand length allows flexibility for longer closure runs or larger operative fields.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL™ PLUS VCP9571H delivers trusted antibacterial suture performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for dependable veterinary and medical wound closure.
