Ethicon J489G 6-0 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | P-1 Precision Cosmetic | Box of 12

The Ethicon J489G is a high-precision Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, meticulously designed for delicate soft tissue approximation where minimal scarring is the primary goal. This Size 6-0 undyed braided suture is a clinical staple for subcuticular skin closures, ophthalmic procedures, and pediatric surgeries. Paired with the ultra-sharp P-1 (Plastic Surgery) needle, the J489G offers exceptional control and reduced penetration force, ensuring exact wound edge alignment in the most sensitive anatomical areas.

The P-1 needle is an 11mm, 3/8 circle Precision Cosmetic® Reverse Cutting needle. Crafted from high-strength surgical alloy, it maintains its superior cutting edge through multiple passes, making it the preferred choice for surgeons performing intricate facial or hand reconstructions.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Precision Cosmetic® Sharpness: The P-1 needle is engineered for a 30% reduction in penetration force compared to standard cutting needles, significantly lowering the risk of tissue "bunching" or trauma.

• Ultra-Fine 6-0 Diameter: Ideal for delicate layers where high knot security is required but minimal foreign body presence is desired to reduce the post-operative inflammatory response.

• Superior Tensile Strength: Despite its fine gauge, it provides reliable mechanical support during the critical early healing window, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Exceptional Braided Handling: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues while preserving the superior tie-down and knot security characteristics for which the VICRYL® brand is known.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, allowing the suture to vanish once the tissue has successfully regained its structural integrity.
