Ethicon | Vicryl Polyglactin 910 Suture | Synthetic Absorbable Braided Blend | Model J562G | Double-Armed Sabreloc Spatula S-28

Expires 02-30-2030

The Ethicon J562G is a premium, sterile, synthetic absorbable ophthalmic surgical suture precision-woven from a co-polymeric blend of 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent L-lactide (polyglactin 910), braided into an ultra-fine size 6-0 gauge thread matrix measuring 18 inches (45 cm) in length and dyed deep violet to ensure absolute high-contrast magnification under operative microscopes. Coated uniformly with a specialized lubricious layer of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer combined with calcium stearate, this thread provides exceptional knot-tying smoothness, high structural flexibility, and minimal dragging friction when crossing narrow ocular channels. Configured as a double-armed system, the continuous single strand is pre-swaged on both vectors to high-performance 7.6 mm (often rounded to 8 mm in material logs) S-28 Sabreloc conventional spatula needles featuring a 1/2 circle curvature profile and thin, flat-bodied cutting edges explicitly engineered to pass cleanly between delicate scleral, corneal, or lamellar eye segments without causing vertical tissue splitting, providing dependable mid-term structural wound support (maintaining roughly 75 percent active holding strength at 2 weeks post-op and 50 percent at 3 weeks) before degrading completely through smooth in vivo chemical hydrolysis to achieve complete mass absorption between 56 and 70 days.
