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, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.

This USP 4-0 violet product is supplied as eight individual 18 inch (45 cm) single-armed strands per unit and is armed with TF PLUS CR needles. The TF PLUS CR needle design enables controlled tissue penetration with enhanced precision, supporting reliable placement during fine soft tissue closure.

VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each strand is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
