Ethicon sutures FAQs
Which Ethicon suture families are included?
The collection includes VICRYL, MONOCRYL, PDS II, ETHILON, PROLENE and MERSILENE products alongside other Ethicon-labelled configurations present in the catalogue. Check each product listing for the exact specification.
Does the collection include absorbable and non-absorbable sutures?
Yes. VICRYL, MONOCRYL and PDS II are absorbable families, while ETHILON, PROLENE and MERSILENE are non-absorbable families. Always confirm the selected product's current labelling and instructions for use.
How do I search for an Ethicon catalogue code?
Use the complete code from the original box, theatre list or purchasing system. Then confirm the product family, material, USP size, strand length, needle and pack quantity shown on the selected listing.
Are Ethicon sutures with the same USP size interchangeable?
No. The same USP size can appear across different materials, constructions, colours, strand lengths and needle configurations. Match the complete manufacturer specification rather than selecting by size alone.
Does this collection include veterinary or microsurgical products?
Yes. The wider catalogue includes specialist veterinary, cardiovascular and microsurgical configurations. Confirm the stated market, intended product type and complete catalogue code before ordering.
Why are some PROLENE products mesh rather than sutures?
PROLENE is used across more than one product format. Where mesh appears, verify the mesh type, dimensions and packaging rather than treating it as a suture product.
