Ethicon J500G 5-0 Coated VICRYL Undyed 1X18" PS-3 16mm BX/12

Ethicon J500G 5-0 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | PS-3 MultiPass Needle | Box of 12

The Ethicon J500G is a high-precision Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, engineered for delicate soft tissue approximation and subcuticular skin closures. This Size 5-0 undyed braided suture is the industry standard for procedures requiring fine-gauge control and exceptional knot security without the visibility of colored fibers. Paired with the specialized PS-3 MultiPass™ Reverse Cutting needle, the J500G offers superior sharpness and structural integrity, allowing for multiple effortless passes through dense or delicate tissue with minimal trauma and optimized aesthetic outcomes.

The PS-3 needle features Ethicon’s proprietary ETHALLOY® needle alloy, which provides 40% greater strength and bend resistance compared to standard surgical needles. This ensures that the 16mm, 3/8 circle needle maintains its precise Prime Reverse Cutting geometry in high-tension clinical environments.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• ETHALLOY® Performance: Constructed from a patented surgical steel alloy to prevent needle breakage and "hooking" during tough dermal passes.

• MultiPass™ Precision: The advanced needle coating and Prime Reverse Cutting edge ensure consistent sharpness, reducing "sawing" effects and promoting cleaner incision healing.

• Predictable Tensile Strength: Maintains approximately 75% of its original strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days, providing critical support during the early wound-healing window.

• Biocompatible Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, transferring the mechanical load to the regenerating tissue as healing progresses.

• Superior Handling: The braided structure is coated with a unique lubricant that reduces tissue drag while ensuring the first-throw knot security essential for deep-tissue ligation.
