Description

VICRYL™ Absorbable Suture Reel, Size 5/0, 54" (135 cm), Undyed, is a sterile synthetic suture composed of polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. This braided suture is designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation where an absorbable suture is preferred. The reel configuration offers uninterrupted access to suture material for tying purposes, particularly in surgical settings requiring multiple ligatures.

The undyed format reduces pigmentation visibility, making it suitable for use in superficial tissue closures and sensitive anatomical areas. VICRYL™ provides excellent handling properties, with pliability and smooth tissue passage contributing to surgical efficiency. Its braided structure allows for secure knotting and strong initial knot hold, minimizing the risk of loosening during tissue healing.

Common applications include general tissue approximation, muscle closures, reproductive procedures, ophthalmic surgeries, and as a secondary option in orthopedic soft tissue repair. The reel-tie format is especially useful in settings demanding efficient and repeated ligature placements.
