Vicryl Plus Violet

Vicryl Plus protects against bacterial colonisation of the suture, especially against attack by staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermidis, including methicillin-resistant strains. Vicryl Plus is a braided, antibacterial-coated thread that still has 50% of its initial tensile strength after 21 days and stands out thanks to its easy handling and knot security. Vicryl Plus has no tensile strength after 35 days longer and after 56-70 days, is completely absorbed.
