Ethicon VICRYL PLUS undyed USP 2-0 70cm Conventional Cutting PC 26mm 3/8C (VCP9582H)

VICRYL™ PLUS Undyed USP 2-0 (VCP9582H) 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 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 predictable absorption profile makes it suitable for procedures requiring sustained wound support during the critical healing phase.

The USP 2-0 size offers increased tensile strength for moderate- to higher-tension closures. The undyed suture minimises tissue marking and supports improved cosmetic outcomes where visibility requirements are lower. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and reliable knot security.

Supplied with a 26 mm conventional cutting PC needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin and firmer tissue closure, providing controlled cutting action and precise placement. The 70 cm strand length offers flexibility for longer closure runs or larger operative fields.

Individually sterile packed, VICRYL™ PLUS VCP9582H delivers trusted antibacterial suture performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for dependable veterinary and medical wound closure.
