Types

Ethicon Vicryl #1 Absorbable Violet Braided Suture and Vicryl Suture both stand out as exceptional surgical tools. Comprising a copolymer blend of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, these sterile sutures are engineered for medical procedures, showcasing their versatility and efficacy in the field. The Vicryl #1 suture, in particular, boasts a unique feature – absorbability. Over time, it gradually dissolves within the body, eliminating the need for removal post-surgery. Its striking violet color enhances visibility during procedures, while the braided structure provides both strength and durability. Ethicon, a respected leader in the medical device industry, manufactures these sutures, ensuring sterility to minimize infection risks in surgical settings.On the other hand, the Vicryl Suture specializes in soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. It shares the copolymer composition, but its absorption mechanism relies on hydrolysis. This means that it progressively loses tensile strength and eventually dissolves, making it unsuitable for long-term tissue approximation. Nevertheless, it retains an impressive 75% of its tensile strength at 14 days, offering dependable wound support during the initial phases of healing. It's crucial, however, to exercise caution when considering its use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues due to its absorbable nature.

Direction to use

Preparation:

  • Ensure proper sterilization of instruments and the suture.
  • Select the appropriate needle and suture size for the specific surgical procedure.

Suturing Technique:

  • Make precise tissue approximations using surgical forceps or needle holders.
  • Pass the needle through the tissue, starting from one side and exiting on the opposite side.
  • Leave an appropriate length of suture material for knot tying, typically 4-6 inches.
  • Form secure knots using a surgeon's knot or appropriate knot-tying technique.
  • Trim excess suture material after knot tying.

Tension and Tightness:

  • Apply appropriate tension to the suture to achieve proper wound closure without excessive tissue compression.
  • Ensure the knots are tight but not overly constrictive to prevent tissue damage.

Visibility:

  • Take advantage of the violet color to maintain visibility during surgery, aiding in accurate placement.

Absorbable Nature:

  • Recognize that Vicryl is an absorbable suture, and no suture removal is required.
