Ethicon DS20 ETHI-PACK Surgical Stainless Steel Monofilament Suture | Size 5 | 18 Inch (45 cm) Pre-Cut Length | Non-Absorbable Metallic Ligature | New

The Ethicon DS20 ETHI-PACK® Surgical Stainless Steel Monofilament Suture is a high-tensile, non-absorbable metallic tie and structural binding element engineered for rigid mechanical tensioning, high-load material testing, structural joinery, and benchtop load-bearing evaluations. Fabricated from high-purity 316L surgical stainless steel, this Size 5 monofilament strand provides maximum linear strength, near-zero elongation under stress, and total resistance to structural degradation or fluid absorption. Measuring 18 inches (45 cm) in length and provided without an attached needle (un-needle/tie format), this component is designed for straightforward anchoring, mechanical wrapping, and high-tension wire manipulation in testing setups. It serves as an ideal component for mechanical tensile testing, structural binding research, orthopaedic surrogate cerclage evaluations, and technical instructional displays.
