Ethicon VCP110G 3-0 Coated VICRYL Plus 12X18" SUTUPAK BX/12

Ethicon VCP110G 3-0 Coated VICRYL Plus Undyed Suture | 18" SUTUPAK® Pre-Cut Ties | Box of 12

The Ethicon VCP110G is a high-performance Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable ligature, engineered to provide active antibacterial protection during vessel ligation and soft tissue approximation. This Size 3-0 undyed braided suture features Irga care® MP (Triclosan), which creates a zone of inhibition to prevent bacterial colonization on the suture strand—a critical defense against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Provided in the SUTUPAK® pre-cut format, each sterile packet contains 12 individual 18-inch (45 cm) strands, making it the industry standard for high-volume tying in deep or sensitive surgical sites.

The undyed (natural) construction is ideal for sub-surface ligations where a dyed suture might be visible through thin tissue, while the braided structure provides the exceptional knot security and tactile feedback characteristic of the VICRYL® brand.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Zone of Inhibition: The Triclosan coating prevents the formation of bacterial biofilms on the ligature, reducing the primary source of surgical site infections (SSIs) in deep-cavity closures.

• SUTUPAK® Efficiency: Pre-cut 18-inch strands allow for immediate hand-tying or "passing" on a right-angle clamp, significantly streamlining operative workflow during procedures requiring multiple ligations.

• Superior Tie-Down Performance: The proprietary coating ensures smooth passage through tissue while maintaining a high-friction "lock" once the knot is seated, ensuring the security of vascular pedicles.

• Predictable Tensile Strength: Maintains approximately 75% of its initial strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days, providing reliable support through the critical phase of tissue regeneration.

• Biocompatible Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, transferring the mechanical load to the healing tissue without leaving a permanent foreign body.
