Suture material the resolving Vikril the USP 1 size, the pricking needle 40 mm, 1/2 circles, length of 90 cm the article of W9431

Vikril suture material is the synthetic resolving sterile suture material. It is made of copolymer which for 90% consists of glycolide and for 10% from L-lactide. An empirical formula of copolymer – (C2H2O2) of m(C3H4O2) n. Becomes covered with mix from equal parts of copolymer of glycolide and lactide (Poliglaktin 370) and calcium stearate. It is known that Poliglaktin copolymer 910, Poliglaktin 370 and calcium stearate, have no antigenic properties. They are depyrogenized and cause insignificant reaction of fabrics at resorption.

Indications

Vikril intends for approximation of soft tissues, including use in eye surgery. Also in an anastomosis of peripheral nerves and in microsurgery on vessels with a diameter less than 2 mm. Safety and efficiency of use of these suture materials in cardiovascular surgery is not established. Vikril suture material has great handling properties, sufficient durability of thread, a low fitilnost. The special covering of thread gives it optimum properties for convenience of work of the surgeon. Due to special weaving of sutural threads the node of the set and reliable fixing is created.

Route of administration

Should choose and put stitches, considering the following factors: condition of the patient, surgical experience, technology of surgical intervention and size of a wound.

Prevention and a precautionary measure

As well as in a case with any other foreign bodys this thread, at long contact with saline solution (for example, in urinary or biliary tract) can lead to formation of concrements. Suture materials which remain on skin more than 7 days can cause local irritation. They have to be removed according to the instruction. In fabrics with insufficient blood supply it is necessary to use the resolving suture materials with care because there can be a rejection of suture material and the slowed-down resorption.

as it is possible more deeply for reduction of an erythema and an induration which are usually connected with resorption process. Besides use of this suture material is not recommended at the elderly, exhausted and weakened patients, and also if there are conditions which are slowing down wound healing.

Caution

Side reactions connected with use of this material include temporary local irritation in the place of a wound, temporary inflammatory reaction to foreign bodys, reddening, puffiness and consolidation in the course of resorption of intracutaneous seams. As well as any other foreign body, this sutural can aggravate the existing infection.
