Ethicon COATED VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial Suture, Size 2-0, 27", CT-2 Needle - Box of 36
Absorbable Polyglactin 910 Suture with Triclosan and Taper Point Needle for Soft Tissue Approximation

The Ethicon COATED VICRYL Plus Antibacterial (polyglactin 910) Suture Size 2-0 CT-2 27in (VCP333H) is a synthetic absorbable suture designed for soft tissue approximation where temporary wound support is required. Made from polyglactin 910 and incorporating triclosan, an antibacterial agent, COATED VICRYL® Plus sutures combine reliable handling with added antibacterial protection on the suture itself. Paired with a 26 mm CT-2 taper point needle and a 27" strand, this configuration provides the reach and controlled tissue passage needed for a wide range of general soft tissue closures. This product replaces former Ethicon code J333H, so customers who previously ordered J333H can use VCP333H going forward.

Antibacterial Protection with Triclosan

COATED VICRYL® Plus sutures incorporate triclosan, an antibacterial agent, giving clinicians the familiar performance of polyglactin 910 with added antibacterial protection on the suture. This makes it a practical choice for facilities looking to support infection prevention practices in routine soft tissue closure.

Predictable Absorption for Temporary Wound Support

As a synthetic absorbable suture, polyglactin 910 provides temporary support while the wound heals and is then absorbed, with an absorption profile of 56 to 70 days. This removes the need for suture removal in buried closures.

CT-2 Taper Point Needle for Atraumatic Tissue Passage

This configuration features a CT-2 taper point needle (26 mm), designed for controlled, atraumatic passage through soft tissue. The taper point design spreads tissue rather than cutting it, making it well suited to fascia, muscle, and subcutaneous tissue approximation.

Reliable Handling & Visibility

COATED VICRYL® Plus sutures offer smooth tissue passage and dependable knot performance for consistent results across procedures. The violet colour stands out in the surgical field, supporting accurate placement during closure.

Clinical Applications

• General soft tissue approximation
• Subcutaneous tissue closure
• Fascia and muscle approximation
• General surgical procedures
• Closures where an absorbable suture is preferred
