Sutures intended for the coaptation and/or ligation of soft tissue in general, including in ophthalmology, peripheral nerve anastomoses and vascular microsurgery on vessels with a diameter of less than 2 mm. There is insufficient data on the safety and efficacy of Vicryl sutures in cardiovascular surgery. Contraindicated for the coaptation of edges that are likely to be subjected to significant traction.
