Vicryl

Ethicon VICRYL is probably the world’s most famous suture. It is together with Silk our most popular suture material. It is braided for easy handling and secure knot tying. VICRYL has a special coating for minimizing friction, smooth passage through tissue and easy knot tie down. The properties of VICRYL make it ideal for a wide range of applications when an absorbable suture is needed. It is synthetic for minimal tissue reaction.
