Ethicon Sutures. 4/0, 18" Prolene Blue Suture 12/bx

Carefully selecting a surgical suture needle is a critical component in achieving excellent wound closure outcomes. The ideal surgical needle should be:

• Sharp enough to penetrate and carry suture through tissue with minimal resistance
• Slim as possible without compromising strength
• Rigid to resist bending, yet ductile to resist breaking
• Stable in the grasp of the needleholder

Ethicon offers over 200 types of surgical suture needles, allowing clinicians great flexibility to select the most appropriate needle for the specific needs of the tissue being repaired.
