Ethicon VCPP71D 0 COATED VICRYL PLUS VIOLET 8X27" MO-4 CR Box of 12

Ethicon VCPP71D 0 Coated VICRYL Plus Violet Suture | MO-4 Control Release | Box of 12

The Ethicon VCPP71D is an industrial-strength Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for high-tension surgical closures and infection prevention. This Size 0 violet braided suture is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan) to create an active antibacterial zone of inhibition, effectively preventing the colonization of SSI-causing pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. A critical feature for surgical efficiency is the Control Release™ (CR) technology paired with a heavy-duty MO-4 (Mayo) needle, allowing for rapid "pop-off" detachment to facilitate high-speed interrupted suturing in deep fascia and abdominal layers.

The MO-4 (Mayo) needle is a robust 36mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle designed for effortless penetration through dense soft tissues where a cutting edge could cause unwanted bleeding or tissue trauma.

Technical & Professional Advantages

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

• Extended 27" Length: The extra-long 27-inch strands provide ample material for large-scale closures, such as the fascia during a laparotomy or the uterine incision during a Cesarean section.

• Control Release™ (CR) Speed: The "Pop-Off" needle interface allows surgeons to place multiple sutures in rapid succession without using scissors, significantly reducing operative time in critical closure phases.

• Mayo (MO-4) Needle Strength: The heavy-gauge MO-4 needle is built for durability, resisting bending even when passed through tough, fibrous tissue layers.

• Predictable Support: Maintains approximately 75% of its original tensile strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days, supporting the wound through the most vulnerable stages of healing before complete absorption (56–70 days).
