The traction resistance disappears from 35 days after implantation. The Vicryl thread is totally absorbed after approximately 56 to 70 days by hydrolysis. Suture threads intended for coaptation and/or ligation of soft tissues in general, including in ophtalmology, in peripheral nervous anastomosis and in vascular microsurgery on vessels with a diameter inferior to 2 mm. There are no sufficient data about the security and efficiency of Vicryl threads in cardiovascular surgery.
