Ethicon Johnson - NW870 - Prolene Sutures USP 4-0, 3/8 Circle Cutting Ethiprime - NW870 -12 Foils Box

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for wound closure. It is constructed from monofilament polypropylene, a synthetic material known for its strength and inertness within biological tissues. The suture is dyed blue, which enhances its visibility during surgical procedures, aiding in precise placement and knot tying.

Each unit contains 70 centimeters of suture material, providing sufficient length for various surgical applications. The suture is supplied in a USP size of 4-0, indicating a relatively fine diameter suitable for delicate tissue approximation. The material's monofilament structure minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of bacterial harboring compared to braided sutures.

Its non-absorbable nature means it remains in the body indefinitely, making it appropriate for long-term tissue support or when permanent closure is required. Sterilization is achieved through ethylene oxide gas, ensuring the product is safe for use in sterile surgical environments. Each suture and needle combination is individually packaged in a sterile foil pouch to maintain integrity until the point of use.

The product is presented in a box containing 12 such sterile foil packets.
