Ethicon VCP694H 0 COATED VICRYL PLUS UNDYED 1X27" OS-4 Box of 36

Ethicon VCP694H 0 Coated VICRYL Plus Undyed Suture | OS-4 Reverse Cutting | Box of 36

The Ethicon VCP694H is a heavy-duty Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for orthopedic and high-tension soft tissue applications. This Size 0 undyed braided suture is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan) to provide an active antibacterial zone of inhibition, effectively preventing the colonization of SSI-causing pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Paired with the robust OS-4 (Orthopaedic Surgery) needle, this suture is designed to penetrate dense, fibrous tissues and fascia with exceptional control and minimal needle deflection.

The OS-4 needle is a 22mm, 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle. Its heavy-wire construction and cutting-edge geometry make it the clinical standard for suturing tough ligaments, tendons, and periosteum where a standard needle might bend or dull.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Defense: The Triclosan coating is clinically proven to reduce the risk of surgical site infections by inhibiting bacterial biofilm formation directly on the suture strand.

• OS-4 Orthopedic Precision: The 22mm OS-4 needle is specifically tempered for increased strength, allowing it to pass through dense orthopedic soft tissues without losing its cutting edge.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 0 suture, it provides robust mechanical support for high-stress areas, maintaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Low Tissue Reactivity: The synthetic Polyglactin 910 material is designed to elicit minimal inflammatory response, promoting a clean and stable healing environment during the 56–70 day absorption period.

• Exceptional Handling: The proprietary coating ensures smooth tissue passage ("zip") while preserving the excellent knot-security characteristics of a braided suture.
