Ethicon VICRYL Coated Polyglactin 910 Absorbable Surgical Suture – USP 9-0 – 10 cm – Violet – Single-Armed Reverse Spatula Needle 6.5 mm, 3/8 Circle – W1703 (Box of 12) Size: 9-0 Colour: Violet Style: Reverse Spatula

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while minimising tissue drag during placement in highly delicate surgical environments.

This USP 9-0 violet suture is supplied in a 10 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 6.5 mm Reverse Spatula needle featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle is specifically engineered for controlled passage through layered, delicate tissues, making it ideal for ophthalmic and precision microsurgical procedures where minimal trauma and high accuracy are required.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for specialist hospital and microsurgical clinical environments.
