Ethicon VICRYL Coated Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Surgical Suture V546G

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

This USP 7-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is double-armed with two 6.5 mm reverse spatula needles featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is specifically engineered for precise passage through delicate, layered tissues, allowing controlled dissection and accurate suture placement with minimal trauma, particularly in ophthalmic and fine microsurgical applications.

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