The Ethicon M657G Surgical Stainless Steel Suture is a high-strength, non-absorbable monofilament suture designed for use in situations requiring permanent wound closure. Made from 316L surgical stainless steel, it offers excellent tensile strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in various surgical procedures, including sternal closure and orthopedic surgeries. The suture is provided with two 18-inch strands, each equipped with a 48 mm CCS (Conventional Cutting, ½ Circle) needle, facilitating precise and secure needle placement.

This suture is unidirectional, ensuring consistent tension distribution along the wound, which is crucial in high-tension areas. Its monofilament construction reduces the risk of tissue trauma and infection, as it has fewer surface areas for bacterial colonization compared to braided sutures. The silver-colored needle enhances visibility during procedures, aiding in accurate placement and minimizing surgical time.

Sterile and packaged in a box of 12, the Ethicon M657G suture is ready for immediate use in clinical settings. Its non-absorbable nature ensures long-term support for wound closure, making it a reliable choice for surgeons requiring durable and resilient suturing material. Whether used in sternal closure, orthopedic procedures, or other high-tension wound closures, this suture provides the strength and reliability necessary for optimal patient outcomes.
