Covidien Surgipro™ Polypropylene 2-0 | VP-833 | 26mm V-20 Taper | 30" Blue | BX/36

The Covidien VP-833 (Surgipro™) is a premium, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered for permanent tissue approximation and ligation. This Size 2-0 (3.0 metric) polypropylene suture is the clinical gold standard for procedures requiring long-term mechanical integrity, such as abdominal wall closure, vascular anastomoses, and specialized soft tissue repair.

Surgipro™ is characterized by its remarkable biological inertness and smooth surface geometry. Because it is a monofilament, it exhibits virtually no tissue "drag" and significantly reduces the risk of bacterial colonization compared to braided alternatives, making it ideal for contaminated or high-risk surgical sites.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• V-20 Taper Point Precision: The 26mm V-20 needle is designed for atraumatic penetration. By displacing tissue fibers rather than cutting them, it minimizes the puncture hole size, which is critical in preventing "needle-hole bleeding" in vascular and cardiovascular applications.

• Permanent Tensile Strength: Unlike absorbable sutures, Surgipro™ is not weakened by the body's enzymatic processes. It provides indefinite structural support, ensuring that fascia or vessel repairs remain intact throughout the patient's lifetime.

• Superior Handling & Pliability: Surgipro™ undergoes a specialized extrusion process that results in a more supple strand with reduced "package memory." This allows for easier knot-tying and more predictable handling than earlier generations of polypropylene.

• Exceptional Knot Security: The material's unique molecular structure allows for "flattening" at the knot interface under tension. This creates a secure mechanical lock, providing confidence in high-pressure environments like the arterial system.

• Inert Monofilament Geometry: The smooth, non-porous surface ensures the suture glides through delicate tissue planes without the "sawing" effect, promoting faster healing and reduced post-operative inflammation.
