Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while reducing tissue drag during placement.

This USP 5-0 violet suture is supplied in a 75 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 13 mm TaperCut CC needle with a 3/8 circle curvature. The TaperCut CC needle combines a taper body with a cutting tip, enabling smooth tissue penetration with enhanced control, making it suitable for soft tissues requiring precise entry with reduced trauma.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures smooth handling and reliable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
