Ethicon D7889 4-0 Prolene 1X54" SH-1, SH-1 ETHALLOY BX/36

Ethicon D7889 4-0 Prolene 1X54" SH-1, SH-1 ETHALLOY BX/36

The Ethicon D7889 (PROLENE®) is an elite-tier, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered specifically for complex cardiovascular and vascular reconstructions. In Size 4-0 (1.5 metric), this suture provides the delicate precision required for anastomoses while offering the structural integrity needed for high-pressure arterial systems.

Additional product details

• This specialized configuration features an extraordinary 54-inch (137 cm) length and is Double-Armed, meaning an SH-1 (Small Half-Circle) needle is swaged onto both ends of the strand. This allows the surgeon to start a continuous "running" stitch at the midpoint of a vessel and suturing in both directions simultaneously—halving the time required for critical closures like aortic or femoral bypasses.
• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Brand: PROLENE®
• Suture Size: 4-0 (1.5 metric) — Precision Vascular Diameter
• Length: 54 Inches (137 cm) — Extra-Long for Continuous Closure
• Configuration: Double-Armed (Needle at both ends)
• Needle: 22mm SH-1 (1/2 Circle)
• Needle Point: Taper Point (Atraumatic)
• Quantity: Full Box of 36 Sterile Units
• ETHALLOY® Needle Strength: The SH-1 needles in the D7889 are forged from ETHALLOY®, a proprietary stainless steel alloy. This material is designed to be significantly more resistant to bending and breaking, allowing the needle to maintain its structural integrity even when passing through calcified or atherosclerotic vessels.
• Atraumatic SH-1 Taper Point: The 22mm SH-1 is the gold standard for soft tissue and vascular work.
• Ultimate Biological Inertness: PROLENE® is a synthetic linear polyolefin that causes virtually zero tissue reaction.
• Indefinite Tensile Support: Unlike absorbable materials, PROLENE® is not subject to degradation by tissue enzymes. It provides permanent support for synthetic grafts and native vessels alike.
• Status: New – Factory Sealed.
• Integrity:
