Ethicon 10X53N 3-0 Ethibond EXCEL 10x30" V-5 ETHALLOY BX/6

Ethicon ETHIBOND EXCEL® 3-0 Suture | 10X53N | 17mm V-5 TAPERCUT™ | 30" 5-Green/5-White | BX/6

The Ethicon 10X53N is a specialized surgical specialty pack designed for high-volume suturing in complex reconstructive procedures. Composed of high-strength braided polyester and treated with a proprietary Polybutylate coating, this Size 3-0 suture delivers the structural integrity of a braid with the frictionless passage of a monofilament.

This specific configuration is a "Surgical Specialty" foil containing 10 strands of 30-inch suture—5 Green and 5 White—per pouch. This dual-color arrangement is a clinical necessity for procedures like heart valve "parachuting," annuloplasty, or multi-row tendon repairs, allowing the surgical team to trace and manage multiple suture limbs with absolute visual certainty.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• ETHALLOY® V-5 Precision: The V-5 needle is forged from a proprietary alloy that is significantly more resistant to bending than standard stainless steel. Its TAPERCUT™ geometry features a micro-cutting tip for easy entry into tough fascia or calcified tissue, while the tapering body ensures a "plug-fit" seal to prevent suture-hole leakage.

• Streamlined Operative Flow: By providing 10 needles and strands in a single sterile foil, the 10X53N reduces "packaging fatigue" in the OR, decreases waste, and minimizes the time spent opening individual sutures during long, multi-suture cases.

• High-Contrast Tracing: The alternating Green and White strands eliminate visual confusion in deep surgical fields, ensuring that the correct pairs are knotted together during complex valve or graft fixations.

• Permanent Structural Integrity: Being non-absorbable and chemically inert, ETHIBOND EXCEL® provides indefinite support, making it the premier choice for prosthetic implant fixation and permanent ligamentous grafts.

• Superior Knot Security: The braided core provides a high-friction "lock" when tied, ensuring knots remain secure under the physiological stresses of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems.
