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 75 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm Taper Point needle with a fish hook configuration. The fish hook needle design enables secure engagement and controlled access in specific surgical approaches, supporting accurate placement and reliable handling during soft tissue approximation.

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.
