Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface. This antibacterial technology helps reduce the risk of surgical site infection while maintaining the trusted handling and performance of VICRYL sutures.

This USP 0 violet suture is supplied in a 110 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 26 mm taper point needle with a compound curvature, designed for smooth penetration and atraumatic passage through soft tissues.

VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during the critical wound healing period. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
