Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, designed to provide dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.

This USP 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm Taper Point needle featuring a ski configuration. The ski needle profile supports controlled access and precise placement in specialised or constrained operative approaches, allowing smooth tissue penetration with excellent handling.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
