Ethicon Sutures. Vicryl. J421H 5-0 FS-2 27" 36/Box

The Ethicon Vicryl J421H 5-0 FS-2 is a high-quality coated synthetic absorbable surgical suture designed for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation. This sterile suture features a copolymer composed of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, ensuring consistent performance during surgical procedures.

• Size: 5-0 suture diameter, ideal for delicate tissue handling
• Length: 27 inches for efficient suturing without frequent replacements
• Needle type: FS-2 reverse cutting needle, 3/8 circle, 19.0 mm, optimized for secure tissue penetration
• Composition: Coated polyglactin 910 for smooth passage through tissue and reduced drag
• Packaging: Box of 36 suture sets, suitable for high-volume surgical use

Compared to other sutures in the market, the Vicryl J421H offers superior handling characteristics due to its coating and braided structure, which provides excellent knot security and tensile strength. Unlike some earlier models, this suture is undyed, allowing for greater visibility on a variety of tissue types, enhancing precision in ophthalmic and general soft tissue procedures. While it is versatile, it is important to note it is not indicated for cardiovascular or neurological tissue applications.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Reliable absorbability that supports natural healing as the suture material is broken down predictably
• Braided design that balances strength and flexibility for delicate tissue approximation
• Reverse cutting FS-2 needle enhances ease of use and minimizes tissue trauma
• Coating reduces tissue drag, helping to minimize surgical time and improve patient outcomes
