Ethicon VCP284G 4-0 COATED VICRYL PLUS UNDYED 54" LIGAPAK REEL 0, Box of 12

Ethicon VCP284G 4-0 Coated VICRYL Plus Undyed | 54" LIGAPAK® Reel | Box of 12

The Ethicon VCP284G is an advanced Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable ligature, engineered for continuous vessel ligation and soft tissue approximation. This Size 4-0 undyed braided strand is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan), creating an antibacterial zone of inhibition that effectively prevents the colonization of common surgical site infection (SSI) pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Provided on a LIGAPAK® dispensing reel, this 54-inch (140 cm) continuous strand allows the surgical team to perform multiple ties from a single source, significantly streamlining operative workflow in complex internal reconstructions.

The LIGAPAK® Dispenser is a handheld radiopaque reel designed for ergonomic "feeding" of the suture material. This system is the industry standard for performing "deep ties" or ligating multiple small vascular branches quickly without the waste associated with pre-cut lengths.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Zone of Inhibition: The Triclosan coating prevents bacterial biofilm formation on the ligature, providing a critical layer of defense in internal closures where infection risk is a primary concern.

• LIGAPAK® Efficiency: The continuous 54-inch reel eliminates the need for frequent suture exchanges, allowing the surgeon or assistant to "pass the tie" or perform multiple ligations with maximum speed and minimal packaging waste.

• Superior Tie-Down Performance: The proprietary coating ensures smooth passage through tissue while maintaining the high-friction "lock" necessary for securing vascular pedicles.

• Fine 4-0 Gauge Precision: Ideal for delicate ligation in general surgery, gynecology, and urology, providing sufficient strength for tissue approximation while maintaining a low-profile foreign body presence.

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