Ethicon VCPB740D Antibacterial Violet Braided Synthetic Absorbable Suture BOX/12

Ethicon VCPB740D Antibacterial VICRYL Plus Violet Suture | Control Release™ Multipack | Box of 12

The Ethicon VCPB740D is a high-performance Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered to combine superior wound support with active infection control. This violet braided suture is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan) to create an antibacterial zone of inhibition, effectively preventing the colonization of common SSI-causing pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. A standout feature of the VCPB740D is its Control Release™ (CR) "pop-off" technology, delivered in a high-efficiency 8-strand multipack per packet, allowing for rapid, interrupted suturing without the need for surgical scissors.

Designed for deep-tissue approximation and ligation, this suture provides the tactile feedback of a traditional braid with the advanced safety profile of an antimicrobial-coated synthetic.

 Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Antibacterial Defense: Triclosan coating inhibits bacterial biofilm formation on the suture strand, a critical factor in reducing the risk of post-operative surgical site infections.

• Control Release™ (CR) Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle interface is engineered for speed, allowing surgeons to place multiple interrupted sutures in rapid succession—ideal for fascia closure and uterine repair.

• High-Volume Multipack: With 8 strands per sterile packet, the VCPB740D reduces the need to open multiple individual sutures, streamlining the surgical field and reducing waste.

• Predictable Tensile Strength: Maintains approximately 75% of its initial strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days, supporting the wound through its most vulnerable healing stages.

• Biocompatible Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, leaving no permanent foreign body once the tissue has regained its natural integrity.
