Ethicon MB66G ETHIBOND EXCEL 5 4x30" V-37 40mm TAPERCUT BX/12

Ethicon MB66G ETHIBOND EXCEL 5 4x30" V-37 40mm TAPERCUT BX/12

The Ethicon MB66G is an ultra-high-strength, non-absorbable surgical suture engineered for procedures requiring maximum structural integrity. Composed of braided polyester and treated with a proprietary Polybutylate coating, this Size 5 suture is among the strongest synthetic filaments available. It provides the heavy-duty tensile strength necessary for anchoring bone, reattaching large tendons, or securing prosthetic implants where biological failure is not an option.

• Needle Point: TAPERCUT™ (Cutting tip with a tapering body)
• Quantity: Full Box of 12 Sterile Foils (48 total strands)
• V-37 TAPERCUT™ Performance: The V-37 needle features a unique geometry: a triangular cutting tip for easy penetration of tough, calcified tissue or fibrocartilage, which transitions into a round tapering body.
• Maximum Tensile Strength: As a Size 5 suture, the MB66G offers extreme resistance to breakage under physiological stress, making it the premier choice for rotator cuff repair, Achilles tendon reconstruction, and cerclage.
• Polybutylate Lubricity: The specialized coating fills the braid's interstices, significantly reducing tissue drag—a critical factor when pulling heavy-gauge suture through dense fascia or bone tunnels.
• Status: New – Factory Sealed.
• Integrity:
• Storage: Maintained in a climate-controlled, medical-grade environment to preserve the molecular integrity of the polyester fibers and the sharpness of the TAPERCUT™ needles.
