Ethicon Johnson - 8732H - Prolene Sutures USP 8-0, 3/8 Circle Taper Point BV-1 30-5 Ethalloy Double Needle 8732H - 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 offers significant tensile strength and resistance to degradation within the body. The suture is colored blue, which can aid in visualization during surgical operations.

Its non-absorbable nature means it is intended to remain in the tissue indefinitely, providing long-term structural support. The suture is presented with a double-armed needle, meaning it has a needle attached to each end of the suture strand, allowing for bidirectional suturing or the closure of two separate wound edges simultaneously. The needle is a 3/8 circle configuration, a common curvature for accessing tissue planes with precision.

It features a taper point tip, designed for atraumatic penetration of delicate tissues, minimizing damage. The needle is manufactured from Ethalloy, a material known for its strength and durability, and measures 6.5mm in length.

The suture itself has a diameter corresponding to USP size 8-0, indicating a very fine thread suitable for precise wound closure where minimal scarring is desired. Each package contains 36 individual foil-wrapped units for sterility.
