Ethicon VCP774D Coated Vicryl Plus Violet 8 x 18" CT-1 CR Box of 12

Ethicon VCP774D 1 Coated VICRYL Plus Violet Suture | CT-1 36mm Control Release | Box of 12

The Ethicon VCP774D is a high-tensile Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for robust soft tissue approximation where infection risk is a primary concern. This Size 1 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. A defining feature of the VCP774D is the Control Release™ (CR) "pop-off" technology, which allows the surgeon to detach the needle with a strategic tug—facilitating rapid interrupted suturing in high-tension layers like the abdominal fascia without the use of surgical scissors.

The CT-1 (Circle Taper) needle is a 36mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Its precision-engineered tip is designed to push tissue fibers apart rather than cutting them, making it the preferred choice for heavy-gauge, leak-proof closures in the peritoneum and general soft tissue.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Defense: The Triclosan coating prevents bacterial biofilm formation on the suture strand, providing a critical layer of protection in major abdominal closures where the consequences of a surgical site infection (SSI) are severe.

• Control Release™ (CR) Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle design significantly reduces operative time during interrupted suturing, allowing for rapid, tool-free needle detachment which is ideal for securing the fascia and muscle layers.

• Maximum Tensile Strength: As a Size 1 suture, it provides the heavy-duty mechanical support required for the early phases of healing in high-stress areas, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Taper Point Precision: The 36mm CT-1 needle geometry is optimized for smooth penetration through thick soft tissue layers, reducing the risk of post-operative tissue tearing or unwanted bleeding.

• 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.
