Ethicon Johnson - 8805H - Prolene Sutures USP 6-0, 3/8 Circle Taper Point BV-1 Ethalloy Double Needle 8805H -36 Foils

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for use in various medical procedures. It is constructed from a synthetic monofilament material, specifically polypropylene, which is known for its inertness and strength. The suture is presented in a USP size of 6-0, indicating a fine diameter suitable for delicate tissue approximation.

The material's non-absorbable nature means it will remain in the body indefinitely, providing long-term tensile support where required. The suture is colored blue, which can aid in visualization during surgical procedures. Each unit contains a 60 cm length of suture material.

The suture is pre-attached to a 9.3 mm needle. The needle is a 3/8 circle configuration, which is a common curvature for accessing tissue in a variety of anatomical locations.

It features a taper point tip designed for penetration through soft tissues with minimal trauma. The needle is manufactured from Ethalloy, a material known for its strength and corrosion resistance, and is designated as BV-1. The product is supplied in foils, with this specific offering containing 36 individual foil-wrapped suture-needle combinations.

The suture exhibits indefinite breaking strength retention, meaning its mechanical properties are maintained over time.
