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 5-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 16 mm reverse cutting Prime needle with a composite curve. This specialised needle geometry combines cutting efficiency with enhanced access, enabling precise placement in anatomically challenging or confined surgical sites.

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 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
