Ethicon Johnson - NW2442 - Vicryl Sutures USP 5-0, 3/8 Circle Cutting PC 3 Ethiprime - NW2442 - 12 Foils Box

Ethicon Vicryl Sutures USP 5-0, 3/8 Circle Cutting PC 3 Ethiprime - NW2442 is a type of surgical suture made by the Ethicon division of Johnson & Johnson.The "USP 5-0" refers to the size of the suture thread. In this case, it is a very fine thread.

The "3/8 Circle Cutting PC 3" refers to the shape and type of the needle. The needle has a cutting edge and is curved in a 3/8 circle. The "Ethiprime" is a proprietary coating that improves the suture's handling characteristics and reduces tissue drag.

Overall, this suture is designed for use in surgeries where a very fine, strong suture is needed, such as in ophthalmic, plastic, or neurological surgeries. The cutting needle allows for easier penetration through tough tissues, while the fine thread provides excellent tensile strength and knot security. The Ethiprime coating helps to reduce tissue trauma and improve suture handling.
