Ethicon J843G 6-0 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | PC-3 Precision Cosmetic | Box of 12

The Ethicon J843G is an ultra-fine Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for high-precision aesthetic and reconstructive closures. This Size 6-0 undyed braided suture is the clinical standard for subcuticular skin closure and delicate soft tissue approximation where a minimal visual footprint is essential. Paired with the high-performance PC-3 PRECISION COSMETIC® needle, the J843G offers exceptional control and sharpness, ensuring effortless tissue penetration and exact wound edge alignment for optimized healing and reduced scarring.

The PC-3 needle is a 16mm, 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle. Its specialized geometry and advanced polishing process provide a significantly sharper edge than standard cutting needles, making it the preferred choice for cosmetic facial surgery and hand surgery.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• PRECISION COSMETIC® Performance: The PC-3 needle is designed for repeated sharpness through multiple passes, reducing tissue "drag" and trauma in the most sensitive aesthetic areas.

• Ultra-Fine 6-0 Diameter: Ideal for delicate closures where high knot security is required but minimal foreign body presence is desired to reduce the risk of inflammatory response.

• Superior Tensile Strength: Despite its fine gauge, it provides reliable mechanical support during the critical early healing window, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Exceptional Braided Handling: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues while preserving the superior tie-down and knot security characteristics of a braided suture.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, allowing the suture to vanish once the tissue has regained its natural structural integrity.
