- Ethicon Vicryl Plus Sutures USP 5-0, 3/8 Circle Cutting Ethiprime - VP 2442 -12 Foils is a type of surgical suture material. Here's what the various terms in the name mean:
- Ethicon Vicryl Plus: This is the trade name of the suture material. It is made from a synthetic polymer called polyglactin 910 and is designed to be absorbed by the body over time.
- Sutures: This refers to the thread-like material that is used to stitch together tissues or close wounds during surgery.
- USP 5-0: 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 5-0 indicates that this is a relatively thin suture material, which is typically used for delicate tissues or for procedures that require minimal tissue support.
- 3/8 Circle Cutting: This refers to the shape of the needle that is attached to the suture material. A 3/8 circle needle has a curved shape that is less than half of a full circle, and a cutting needle has a sharp, triangular point that allows it to penetrate and cut through tissues. This type of needle is commonly used for suturing tough or thick tissues.
- Ethiprime: This is a coating that is applied to the suture material to enhance its performance and make it easier to handle during surgery.
- VP 2442: 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 2442 are a unique identifier for this specific size and type of suture material.
- 12 Foils: This refers to the packaging of the suture material. Foils are individual sterile packages that contain one suture each. The number 12 indicates that there are 12 foils in each box.
