Ethicon VICRYL Polyglactin 910 Braided Absorbable Surgical Suture MPV489H

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

This USP 6-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 11 mm reverse cutting Prime needle with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting Prime needle is designed for sharp, controlled penetration with enhanced precision, making it particularly suitable for delicate or superficial tissues requiring reliable cutting efficiency and control.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction offers excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
