The Ethicon 1714G Coated VICRYL® Suture is a high-performance synthetic absorbable braided suture crafted for precise handling, smooth tissue passage, and dependable knot security. Made from Polyglactin 910 (a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide) and coated with a smooth mixture of Polycaprolate and Calcium Stearate, this size 3-0 violet suture glides effortlessly through delicate tissues while minimizing tissue drag. Armed with an RB-1 (Renal Bypass) taper point needle (17 mm, 1/2 circle), it is engineered for delicate soft tissue approximation, urological procedures, gastrointestinal repair, surgical training simulation, and medical device research.
