Ethicon D7129 Green White Braided Polyester Nonabsorbable Surgical Suture

Ethicon ETHIBOND EXCEL® 2-0 Suture | D7129 | Double-Armed V-7 TAPERCUT™ | 30" Green/White | BX/36

The Ethicon D7129 is a high-performance, non-absorbable surgical suture engineered for permanent soft-tissue fixation. Composed of high-molecular-weight braided polyester, this suture is coated with Polybutylate to ensure a smooth, atraumatic passage through delicate tissues—combining the structural security of a braid with the low-friction handling of a monofilament.

This specific configuration is a Double-Armed specialty pack, featuring a V-7 TAPERCUT™ needle on both ends of a 30-inch (75 cm) strand. The unique Green and White braided pattern provides unmatched "tracing" visibility, allowing surgeons to easily distinguish between suture limbs during complex valve replacements, annuloplasty, or multi-suture orthopedic reconstructions.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• V-7 TAPERCUT™ Precision: The V-7 needle features a small cutting point that easily penetrates tough or calcified tissue, while the tapering body ensures the suture hole remains small and "plugged" by the filament to prevent leakage.

• Double-Armed Versatility: Having a needle on both ends allows for specialized techniques such as "parachute" suturing in heart valve procedures or anchoring tendons from two directions simultaneously.

• Permanent Tensile Integrity: Polyester fibers are resistant to enzymatic degradation and hydrolysis, providing indefinite tissue support for prosthetic implants or ligamentous grafts.

• Enhanced Visibility: The alternating green and white braid eliminates visual confusion in deep surgical fields where multiple sutures are deployed, significantly reducing operative time and error.

• Superior Knot Security: The braided architecture "locks" when knotted, offering a secure hold that does not slip, even under the high-stress conditions found in cardiovascular and orthopedic applications.
