Ethicon VCP392H 4-0 Coated VICRYL Plus Violet 1X18" FS-2 Box of 36

Ethicon VCP392H 4-0 Coated VICRYL Plus Violet Suture | FS-2 19mm Reverse Cutting | Box of 36

The Ethicon VCP392H is a high-performance Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered to provide active protection against surgical site infections (SSIs). This Size 4-0 violet braided suture is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan), creating an antibacterial zone of inhibition that prevents the colonization of common pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Paired with the highly popular FS-2 (Foreskin/Skin) needle, the VCP392H is the clinical standard for subcuticular skin closures and soft tissue approximation where both needle precision and infection control are paramount.

The FS-2 needle is a 19mm, 3/8 circle Reverse Cutting needle. Its specialized geometry features a cutting edge on the outer curvature, which significantly reduces the risk of tissue "cut-through" or tearing in high-tension areas compared to conventional cutting needles.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Zone of Inhibition: The Triclosan coating prevents bacterial biofilm formation on the suture strand, providing a critical layer of defense in both deep-cavity and superficial closures where infection risk is a concern.

• FS-2 Needle Precision: The 19mm reverse cutting geometry is optimized for smooth penetration through tough dermis and fascia, providing the ideal arc for precise wound edge alignment.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 4-0 suture, it provides reliable mechanical support during the critical early healing window, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days post-implantation.

• Exceptional Braided Handling: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues with minimal drag, while the braided construction offers the superior knot security and tactile feedback for which the VICRYL® brand is known.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, allowing the suture to vanish once the tissue has successfully regained its natural structural integrity.
