VICRYL PLUS 5-0 RB-1 70cm 36PZ VCP303H ETHICON

VicrylTM Plus antibacterial sutures are braided, absorbable synthetic sutures coated with IRGACARE® MP (Triclosan) 1, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that has been used for over 50 years in consumer and professional products and has an excellent safety profile when used as directed.
Because the occurrence of SSI is linked, among other factors, to the formation of bacterial biofilm on the suture thread, VicrylTM Plus sutures offer antibacterial protection that starts from the inside.
It has been demonstrated in vivo† that they kill, on the suture, bacteria known to be associated with SSIs;
• They create a zone of inhibition, as demonstrated in vitro;
• Continuous bacterial inhibition for 7 or more days in vitro;
The clinical value of triclosan-coated sutures for wound management is well established and supported by level 1A evidence and multiple evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
In fact, Plus sutures have been associated with a nearly 30% reduction in the risk of Surgical Site Infection.
This adds a significant piece to the SSI prevention measures, contributing to risk reduction, as demonstrated by the results of several meta-analyses.

The studies supporting the clinical efficacy of sutures treated with Triclosan and the recommendations of international health authorities in support of their use are now also included in the IFU of Vicryl Plus with the transition to MDR.
Dentists may not notice the difference between traditional ETHICON sutures and ETHICON antibacterial sutures.
