- Ethicon Vicryl Plus Sutures USP 1, 1/2 Reverse Cutting Heavy VP 2826 is a type of surgical suture material. Here is what the various terms in the name mean:
- Ethicon: This is the brand name of the suture material, which is produced by the company Ethicon, Inc.
- Vicryl Plus: This is the trade name of the suture material, which is made from a synthetic polymer called polyglactin 910. Vicryl Plus sutures are coated with a material called triclosan, which is an antibacterial agent that helps to reduce the risk of infection.
- Sutures: This refers to the thread-like material that is used to stitch together tissues or close wounds during surgery.
- USP 1: This refers to the size of the suture material. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which is a set of standards that govern the quality of drugs and medical devices in the United States. The number 1 indicates that this is a relatively thick suture material, which is typically used for procedures that require strong tissue support or for closing large wounds.
- 1/2 Reverse Cutting Heavy: This refers to the shape of the needle that is attached to the suture material. A 1/2 reverse cutting needle has a curved shape that is half of a full circle, and a reverse cutting tip that is sharp on the inside of the curve. Heavy indicates that the suture is thicker and stronger than a regular suture of the same size.
- VP 2826: This is a product code that is used by Ethicon to identify this specific type of suture material. The VP indicates that this is a Vicryl Plus suture. The numbers 2826 are a unique identifier for this specific size and type of suture material.
