Ethicon VICRYL Coated Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Surgical Suture – USP 6-0 – 30 cm – Violet – Single-Armed TaperCut Needle 10 mm, 5/8 Circle – W9172 (Box of 12) Size: 6-0 Colour: Violet Style: TaperCut

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 10 mm TaperCut needle featuring a 5/8 circle curvature. The TaperCut needle combines a tapered body with a cutting point, allowing controlled penetration of delicate tissues with enhanced precision, particularly in confined surgical fields.

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 smooth handling and dependable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
