What Should You Know About Vicryl Suture?
Suture materials are extensively used during dental treatments since it’s essential for closure of wound sites. However, you must choose the ideal suture which allows your patients to heal their tissue and recover faster, and a vicryl suture can be that solution for you. It is popular for being a buried absorbable, synthetic suture that can be available in both multifilament and monofilament forms. Let’s get to know some essential features of Vicryl suture. It has water-repelling properties Vicryl suture is, chemically known as Polyglactin 910, is a braided copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide. Since lactide has water-repelling characteristics, Vicryl suture delays the water penetration, resulting in delaying the loss of tensile strength. Moreover, vicryl sutures have a higher degree of friction than other synthetic sutures, so they hold securely in tissue. Offers sufficient tensile strength Vicryl is a great absorbable suture material that can offer you the advantage of high ten...
