VICRYL (polyglactin 910) Knitted Mesh VKML
The VICRYL (polyglactin 910) Knitted Mesh is a sterile, absorbable surgical mesh used for temporary soft tissue reinforcement. It features a flexible, knitted structure ideal for compliant support where drainage is prioritized over fluid containment. The mesh can be trimmed to fit diverse wound or organ support needs.
Unlike woven versions, the knitted mesh design offers more stretch and compliance, making it suitable for applications where adaptability is critical. Made from absorbable polyglactin 910, it provides temporary support while gradually resorbing as the patient’s tissue heals, reducing foreign body burden . The knitted structure also enhances porosity, promoting fluid drainage and tissue integration . Available in various sizes (e.g., 15×15 cm, 30×30 cm) with three meshes per sterile box
