Ethicon Ethisteel Stainless Steel Sutures USP 4, 1/2 Circle Cutting CCS - M652G -12 Foils

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture constructed from stainless steel, designed for wound closure and tissue approximation in various surgical settings. The suture material is a monofilament, meaning it consists of a single strand, which contributes to its smooth passage through tissue and reduced drag. The suture adheres to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards, with a size designation of USP 4, indicating a relatively robust diameter suitable for applications requiring significant tensile strength.

The accompanying needle is a 48 mm, 1/2 circle configuration featuring a conventional cutting shape (CCS). This needle design is characterized by its triangular cross-section and sharpened cutting edges along the inner curve, which facilitates penetration through dense or tough tissues. The combination of stainless steel suture and a cutting needle makes this product appropriate for procedures where strong, durable closure is paramount and tissue resistance is anticipated.

Each unit is supplied in individual foil packaging, ensuring sterility and integrity until the point of use. The packaging contains 12 individual foils, each with a 45 cm length of suture attached to the needle.
