Ethicon B499T 5 ETHIBOND EXCEL 1X30" LR 75mm Cutting Edge Reverse Double Armed BX/24 OPEN BOX - FULL

The Ethicon B499T is an ultra-heavy-duty, non-absorbable surgical suture engineered for procedures requiring the highest possible tensile strength and secure anchorage in dense tissue. Composed of braided polyester and treated with a proprietary Polybutylate coating (polyethylene glycol and calcium stearate), this Size 5 suture is designed for permanent approximation where biological failure must be avoided at all costs.

Additional product details

• This specific configuration is a Double-Armed specialty pack, featuring a massive 75mm LR (Large Reverse Cutting) needle on both ends of a 30-inch (75 cm) strand.
