Ethicon VCP415H 4-0 Coated VICRYL Plus Violet Suture | SH 26mm Taper Point | Box of 36

The Ethicon VCP415H is a premium Coated VICRYL® Plus (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered to provide active protection against surgical site infections (SSIs) in delicate tissue layers. This Size 4-0 violet braided suture is integrated with Irga care® MP (Triclosan), creating an antibacterial zone of inhibition that prevents the colonization of common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Paired with the highly versatile SH (Small Half-circle) needle, the VCP415H is the clinical standard for internal soft tissue approximation, including bowel anastomosis, peritoneal closure, and reproductive tract repair.

The SH needle is a 26mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Its precision-honed tip is designed to push tissue fibers apart rather than cutting them, making it the preferred geometry for leak-proof closures in vascular-rich internal organs and delicate mucosal layers.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Antibacterial Zone of Inhibition: The Triclosan coating prevents bacterial biofilm formation on the suture strand, providing a critical layer of defense in deep-cavity closures where infection risk is a primary concern.

• SH Needle Versatility: The 26mm SH needle is one of the most widely used geometries in surgery, providing the perfect arc for maneuvering in restricted spaces while maintaining enough strength for secure tissue passage.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 4-0 suture, it provides reliable mechanical support during the critical early healing window, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days post-implantation.

• Exceptional Braided Handling: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues with minimal drag, while the braided construction offers the superior knot security and tactile feedback for which the VICRYL® brand is known.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, transferring the mechanical load to the regenerating tissue without leaving a permanent foreign body.
