What is vicryl suture?

Vicryl suture is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid. It is commonly used in surgical procedures for soft tissue approximation and ligation due to its Excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. Vicryl sutures typically absorb within 60-90 days, making them suitable for internal use where long-term support is not required. They are often coated to enhance their handling properties and reduce friction during insertion.
