Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while reducing tissue drag during placement.

This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 30 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 9.3 mm Taper Point needle featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point needle is designed to separate rather than cut tissue fibres, enabling smooth passage through delicate soft tissues with minimal trauma and precise control.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and dependable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
