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

This USP 1 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 40 mm Taper Point Plus needle with a 1/2 circle curvature. The Taper Point Plus needle is designed to provide smooth, controlled penetration with enhanced strength and stability, making it suitable for soft tissue and subcutaneous closure requiring reliable handling and reduced tissue trauma.

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 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
