Ethicon ETHILON Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 2 40 in (100 cm) Black KP-3 Conventional Cutting Needle 36 40 mm 3/8 Circle W798BG (Box of 12)
This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W798BG, is designed for high-tension soft tissue approximation where maximum tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.
The USP 2 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for fascia closure, abdominal surgery and demanding soft tissue procedures requiring durable approximation. The extended 40 inch (100 cm) strand length offers increased working reach, making it particularly suitable for deeper operative fields and longer suture lines.
W798BG is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one KP-3 conventional cutting needle measuring approximately 36–40 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The conventional cutting configuration supports effective penetration through tougher tissue such as skin and fascia while maintaining precise wound edge alignment.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring strong, permanent non-absorbable wound closure.
