Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with the antibacterial agent triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.

This USP 2-0 violet configuration is supplied as 8 strands of 27 inch (68 cm) sutures and is armed with a single-armed SH PLUS C needle. The SH PLUS C taper-cut needle provides enhanced cutting efficiency and controlled penetration, supporting accurate placement and reliable handling during soft tissue and specialised surgical closure.

VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
