Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.

This USP 1 violet suture is supplied in a 90 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 40 mm Tapercut needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, combining cutting efficiency with controlled tissue penetration for reliable soft tissue and subcutaneous closure, particularly in procedures requiring enhanced needle performance.

VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
