Ethicon Vicryl Absorbable Sutures

Product Overview

Ethicon Vicryl sutures are absorbable, synthetic, braided sutures made from polyglactin 910. Renowned for their strength, reliability, and minimal tissue reaction, these sutures are an excellent choice for a wide range of surgical applications. With predictable absorption and easy handling, they are ideal for soft tissue approximation and ligation.

Available in two sizes:

• 6/0: For delicate procedures requiring precision.
• 4/0: For general soft tissue closure where moderate strength is needed.
