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

This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is double-armed with two 8 mm reverse spatula needles featuring a 1/4 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is optimised for controlled passage through delicate, layered tissues, allowing precise dissection and accurate suture placement with minimal trauma.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, delivering predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while maintaining reliable wound support. The braided structure ensures smooth handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional clinical environments.
