VICRYL Suture is a smooth, synthetic, absorbable suture that passes through tissue readily with minimal drag, and facilitates ease of handling, smooth tie down, and unsurpassed knot security.
VICRYL Suture is a synthetic absorbable suture coated with a lactide and glycolide copolymer plus calcium stearate.1 It is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, but not cardiovascular or neurological tissues.2 VICRYL Suture provides 2-4 weeks of tissue support.
