Vicryl is a brand name for an absorbable suture made by Ethicon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. These sutures are made from a synthetic polymer called polyglactin 910, which is a copolymer of glycolide and lactide.

Vicryl sutures are designed to be absorbed by the body over time, which eliminates the need for suture removal. The absorption time of Vicryl sutures can vary depending on the thickness of the suture and the tissue environment in which it is placed. Generally, Vicryl sutures are absorbed within 60 to 90 days.

These sutures are commonly used in a variety of surgical procedures, including gynecologic, general, and orthopedic surgeries. Vicryl sutures are particularly useful in areas of the body where the suture will be difficult to access for removal, such as inside the body cavities.

Vicryl sutures are available in both coated and uncoated versions. The coated version has a coating made of calcium stearate, which helps to reduce tissue drag during the suturing process. The uncoated version of Vicryl sutures is designed for use in contaminated wounds or in areas of the body where a coating may not be desirable.

Overall, Vicryl sutures are a popular choice for absorbable sutures due to their reliable absorption time, versatility in surgical procedures, and reduced need for suture removal. However, as with any surgical product, proper technique and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are crucial for achieving successful outcomes.
