Vicryl W9140 No. 2-0 length 75 cm barbed needle 36 mm

VICRYL synthetic polyfilament suture material (thread thickness USP 2-0, needle length 36 mm) is widely used for soft tissue approximation and ligatures, including ophthalmic surgery, for suturing peripheral nerves, and in microsurgery for suturing vessels.

Polyfilament sutures have good handling properties and hold knots securely in place.

The process of resorption occurs by hydrolysis. Due to the hydrolysis reaction, the tensile strength of Vicryl decreases during implantation into the wound.

Vicryl usually dissolves between 56 and 70 days.

Surgical needles are mainly made of a special alloy called ETHALLOY, which provides 40% more resistance to deformation than conventional surgical steel.

Many needles have a longitudinal groove in the needle holders, which also fixes the needle in the needle clamp.
