Ethicon Johnson - NW3708 - Ethilon Sutures - NW3708 USP 8-0, 3/8 Circle Round Body Micropoint -12 Foils Box

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for wound closure. The suture material is ETHILON, a black monofilament polyamide, known for its tensile strength and smooth passage through tissue. The suture diameter conforms to USP 8-0 standards, indicating a very fine gauge suitable for delicate procedures.

The suture is supplied in a length of 38 cm. The accompanying needle is a 6 mm long, 3/8 circle round body micropoint needle, crafted from SS 455 alloy. The needle's micropoint tip is engineered for precision and sharpness, facilitating accurate tissue penetration.

This suture is intended for use in arteries and is supplied sterile via radiation. Each box contains 12 individually packaged foils. The suture is dyed for visibility and is constructed as a monofilament, meaning it is a single strand, which can reduce drag during tissue passage compared to braided sutures.

The needle is silver in color.
