Ethicon Johnson - NW5290P - Mersilk Sutures USP 2-0, Straight Cutting - NW5290 - 12 Foils Box

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for use in various surgical procedures. It is constructed from natural braided silk, derived from the cocoons of the silk worm Bombyx Mori. The suture is treated with a beeswax coating, which aids in handling and knot security.

The material is black in color and is supplied in a braided construction, contributing to its strength and pliability during surgical manipulation. The suture is classified as USP 2-0 in diameter and has a length of 76 cm. Its non-absorbable nature means it is intended to remain in the body indefinitely or until intentionally removed, providing long-term tissue support.

The suture is sterilized using radiation, ensuring its safety for surgical implantation. It is packaged in 12 individual foil envelopes per box, with each foil containing one suture and needle combination. The suture is designed to retain its tensile strength for an extended period, offering prolonged support for approximately three months post-implantation.

This product is intended for use by trained medical professionals in sterile surgical environments. It is not supplied with a pledget.
