Coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910) suture in extraocular muscle surgery.

A newly available coated Vicryl (Polyglactin 910) suture was evaluated in laboratory and clinical trials for use in extraocular muscle surgery. The suture retains the increased strength and low antigenicity of uncoated Vicryl suture, while providing easier passage through tissue and improved tying characteristics. The improved handling properties result from the coating which produces a smoother suture surface.
