Ethicon Johnson - NW687 - Ethibond Sutures USP 2-0, 1/2 Circle Tapercut Double Needle - NW687 - 12 foils

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for permanent wound support. It is constructed from polyester, specifically poly(ethylene terephthalate), a synthetic braided material known for its inertness and minimal tissue reaction. The suture is coated with polybutilate, which further contributes to its smooth passage through tissues and reduced drag.

The unique construction features a central core surrounded by sixteen outer carriers, creating a braid that is both compact and strong, offering reliable tensile strength with indefinite breaking strength retention. The suture is colored green for enhanced visibility during surgical procedures. Each package contains 12 individual foils, with each foil containing a 90cm length of suture attached to a 26mm, 1/2 circle tapercut double needle.

This specific needle type is designed for use in tissues requiring a sharp, penetrating point that tapers to a fine tip, minimizing tissue trauma.
