Additional product details

• To maximize surgical efficiency during complex reconstructions, each sterile packet contains four 24-inch strands, each of which is Double-Armed with two BV-1 (Blood Vessel-1) needles. This "multipack" configuration allows the surgical team to perform multiple anastomoses with fewer package openings, maintaining a streamlined sterile field.
• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Brand: PROLENE®
• Suture Size: 7-0 (0.5 metric) — Ultra-Fine Microsurgical Gauge
• Configuration: 4 Strands per Packet (Double-Armed)
• Length: 24 Inches (60 cm)
• Needle Name: EVERPOINT® BV-1 (3/8 Circle)
• Needle Length: 9.3 mm
• Needle Point: Taper Point (Atraumatic)
• Quantity: Box of 12 Packets (48 Strands total)
• EVERPOINT® Needle Technology: Forged from a specialized tungsten-rhenium alloy, EVERPOINT® needles are up to 38% stronger and 121% stiffer than conventional stainless steel needles. This allows the ultra-fine 9.3mm needle to penetrate calcified or synthetic graft materials without bending or breaking.
• Stay-Sharp Performance: The advanced alloy maintains its precision-honed tip through multiple passes, significantly reducing the penetration force required.
• Atraumatic BV-1 Taper Geometry: The 9.3mm taper point spreads tissue fibers rather than cutting them.
• Ultimate Biological Inertness: PROLENE® monofilament is a synthetic linear polyolefin that elicits virtually zero inflammatory response.
• Permanent Tensile Support: Unlike absorbable sutures, PROLENE® remains intact indefinitely. It provides the permanent mechanical support necessary for long-term arterial patency and synthetic graft attachments.
• Status: New – Factory Sealed.
• Integrity:
