Why it was recalled

On August 17, 2017, Ethicon had decided to initiate a medical device recall (removal) of the twenty-five (25) lots of VICRYL RAPIDETM (Polyglactin 910) Suture that were distributed to the field. During finished goods testing, a suture damage was identified on a lot of VICRYL RAPIDETM Suture. During the course of the subsequent investigation, the suture also failed knot tensile strength testing.
