"Vicryl suture by Ethicon. Absorbable - synthetic - braided. Vicryl (polyglactin 910) by Ehticon. A synthetic, braided, absorbable suture. Vicryl is probably the world's most well known suture. And that is well deserved. Vicryl is an absorbable suture with a predictable absorption time and is backed up by much research and studies. The suture is braided which gives it strength and nice handling and knot tying properties. A coating ensures that the vicryl-suture smoothly glides through the tissue without cutting it's way through. Vicryl is a synthetic suture which minimizes the risk of tissue reactions.. Remaining tensile strength of the Vicryl suture: 2 weeks - 75% 3 weeks - 50% 4 weeks - 25% Vicryl should be fully absorbed in 56 - 70 days.
