The Ethicon VCPB740D Antibacterial Violet Braided Synthetic Absorbable Suture is designed to deliver reliable wound support while reducing the risk of bacterial colonization at the surgical site. These sutures are composed of polyglactin 910, a synthetic copolymer that offers predictable absorption and tensile strength retention during the crucial healing period. The braided design enhances handling and knot security, making it a preferred choice in a variety of surgical procedures.

This particular suture features a violet coloration for enhanced visibility during placement, and it is coated with an antibacterial agent typically triclosan which helps to inhibit bacterial growth on the suture material. This added protection is especially useful in procedures where infection prevention is a priority. The absorbable nature of the suture means it gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for suture removal.

Each box contains 12 individually packaged sutures, ensuring sterile conditions for every use. The Ethicon VCPB740D is well-suited for soft tissue approximation and ligation, excluding cardiovascular and neurologic tissues. It balances strength, pliability, and safety, making it a dependable solution in both hospital and surgical center environments.
