Ethicon 2809G ETHILON 9-0 Black 1X5" BV130-5 6.5mm BX/12

Ethicon ETHILON® Nylon 9-0 Suture | 2809G | 6.5mm BV130-5 Taper | 5" Black | BX/12

The Ethicon 2809G is a high-precision, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered for the most demanding microsurgical environments. Combining an ultra-fine Size 9-0 Monofilament Nylon with the specialized BV130-5 (Blood Vessel) needle, this suture is the clinical standard for microvascular anastomosis of vessels less than 1mm, nerve bundle repair, and intricate ophthalmic procedures.

Forged from proprietary ETHALLOY®, the needle offers superior strength and ductility, ensuring it maintains its structural integrity and "factory-sharp" point even under the high-magnification requirements (10x–25x) of micro-field surgery.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• BV130-5 Taper Precision: The 6.5mm needle is part of the "Blood Vessel" (BV) series. Its taper-point geometry is designed to push tissue fibers aside rather than cutting them. This atraumatic passage is critical in microvascular and neurological work to minimize leakage at the puncture site and prevent secondary tissue trauma.

• ETHALLOY® Needle Technology: At the 9-0 scale, needles are highly susceptible to "telescoping" or bending. ETHALLOY® provides significantly higher yield strength, allowing the BV130-5 to penetrate vessel walls while maintaining its precise 3/8 circle curvature.

• Micro-field Efficiency: The 5-inch (13 cm) strand length is specifically chosen to eliminate "tail clutter" within the limited focal range of a surgical microscope, allowing for efficient knot-tying without excess material interference.

• MultiPass® Performance: These micro-needles are engineered to retain their edge over multiple passes through delicate structures, ensuring consistent penetration and reduced "force-to-penetrate" throughout the procedure.

• High Visual Contrast: The deep black pigment provides an immediate visual reference against red vessels or clear ocular structures, facilitating precise needle placement and knot tensioning under extreme magnification.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: New – Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: This item is securely contained within its original, undamaged manufacturer's packaging. Both the 12 individual micro-foil packets and the outer box are intact, ensuring absolute sterility and clinical performance.

• Knot Security: In 9-0 microsuturing, it is standard practice to use a "3-2-2" or similar multi-throw tie to ensure the smooth monofilament does not undergo "knot creep."

• Expertise: With over 25 years of experience in surgical and specialty supplies, Primis Medical verifies that all Ethicon stock is rigorously inspected for expiration viability and seal integrity.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in a reinforced, padded container to protect the 6.5mm micro-needles and maintain the integrity of the 12-count sterile seals.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
