About Ethicon Vicryl Plus 1
Suture sizes follow the USP scale. Sizes with more zeros are finer, so 2-0 is finer than 0, while sizes 1 and 2 are thicker. This product is size 1.
Ethicon Vicryl Plus 1 is a braided, synthetic absorbable suture made of polyglactin 910, coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent that helps reduce bacterial colonisation of the suture.
Vicryl is one of the most widely used absorbable sutures for soft tissue closure. It handles smoothly, holds knots well and is absorbed by the body over time.
Compared with natural catgut, a synthetic absorbable suture like polyglactin 910 is absorbed in a more predictable way, which is why many surgeons choose it for routine soft tissue closure such as spays and wound repair.
This is a surgical product for use by veterinarians and trained veterinary staff.
