Absorbable sutures

Absorbable sutures

Vicryl (polyglactin 910) Vicryl is one of the most frequently used suture materials in skin and soft tissue reconstruction. It is a braided, coated suture material that retains its strength for approximately 3 weeks and is completely absorbed in under 3 months. It has excellent handling characteristics and mild tissue reactivity. Recently, a faster-absorbing

variation, Vicryl Rapide, was developed, which loses its strength entirely in under 2 weeks and may be seen as an alternative to fast-absorbing gut suture when suture removal is not desired. An antibacterial-coated variation is now also available on the market (Table 6-2).
