Ethicon VICRYL is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (polyglactin 910). The braided and coated construction enhances handling characteristics, knot security and smooth tissue passage during soft tissue approximation procedures.

This USP 2-0 violet suture is supplied in a 75 cm (30 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed FSLX taper point needle measuring 26 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to provide smooth, atraumatic penetration for secure soft tissue approximation and general surgical closure.

VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and have been shown to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Each suture is sterile, single-use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
