Ethicon VICRYL FAQs

What is Ethicon VICRYL?

VICRYL is Ethicon’s synthetic absorbable braided suture family made from polyglactin 910. It is supplied in many sizes, strand lengths, colours, needle configurations and specialist formats.

Is VICRYL an absorbable suture?

Yes. Standard coated VICRYL is absorbable. Absorption and strength-retention profiles are product-specific; check the current manufacturer instructions for use for the exact catalogue code being ordered.

What is the difference between VICRYL, VICRYL RAPIDE and VICRYL PLUS?

They are distinct members of the VICRYL family. Standard VICRYL provides the familiar coated polyglactin 910 specification, VICRYL RAPIDE is designed for faster loss of tensile strength, and VICRYL PLUS incorporates an antibacterial coating. They are not interchangeable: use the specified product and verify its IFU.

How do I choose the correct VICRYL catalogue code?

Match the complete specification: VICRYL family, USP size, strand length, colour, needle code and geometry, number of needles and pack quantity. If replacing an existing item, use the manufacturer code printed on the pack whenever possible.
