Polyglycolic Acid (Vicryl 1 – RB & RC)

Polyglycolic Acid (Vicryl 1 – RB & RC) is a strong, absorbable surgical suture used for closing internal tissues that need firm and reliable support during healing. It is made from synthetic polyglycolic acid, which gradually dissolves and is safely absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for suture removal.

The size 1 suture offers high tensile strength, making it suitable for areas under more tension.

• The RB (Round Body) needle is designed for smooth passage through soft and delicate tissues with minimal trauma.

• The RC (Round Cutting) needle provides easier penetration in slightly tougher tissues while maintaining control and precision.

Vicryl sutures are valued for their excellent handling, secure knotting, and low tissue reaction. Commonly used in general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and soft tissue repair, Vicryl 1 RB & RC supports safe, comfortable, and effective wound healing.
