Vicryl – Absorbable Synthetic Suture

Braided, coated, absorbable synthetic suture.

Color

Violet or undyed (white).

Material

Copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid (Polyglactin 910). Dodecanol, an alcohol-based component, was added during the polymerization process, increasing in vivo tensile strength by 25%.

Coating type

Polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate.

Features

The presence of lactic acid and dodecanol in the synthesis process ensures maximum tensile strength in the first few days after implantation.
The special coating gives the suture excellent passage through tissues and ideal knot-tying ability, particularly useful in confined and deep surgical fields.
The particular braided structure ensures high tensile strength and extreme ease of handling.

In vivo tensile strength

75% after 2 weeks, 50% after 3 weeks for sizes 6/0 and larger; 37% after 3 weeks for sizes 7/0 and smaller.

Absorption

Via hydrolysis, minimal up to day 40; complete between day 56 and day 70.

Tissue reaction

Mild.

Sterilization method

Ethylene Oxide.
