SUTURE, VICRYL UD BR CT 5-0 1 8" PS3 (12/BX)

VICRYL suture is an absorbable suture for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It may fit facilities and clinicians handling general tissue or muscle approximation, reproductive tract procedures, ophthalmic work, and ligatures when an absorbable option is appropriate. This suture is noted for ease of knot tying and first-throw knot security, with 50% tensile strength loss after 3 weeks and complete mass absorption in 56 to 76 days.
