Ethicon D8309 ETHIBOND EXCEL 0 Green 1X36" MO-7 22mm Taper BX/36

Ethicon ETHIBOND EXCEL® 0 Suture | D8309 | 22mm MO-7 Needle | 36" Green | BX/36

The Ethicon D8309 is a heavy-duty, non-absorbable surgical suture engineered for procedures requiring lifelong structural integrity. Composed of high-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (Polyester), ETHIBOND EXCEL® is uniquely coated with Polybutylate, a specialized surgical lubricant that transforms the naturally high-friction braided surface into a smooth, "poly-like" filament. This allows for the effortless passage usually associated with monofilaments while retaining the superior knot security and tensile strength of a multi-strand braid.

This Size 0 green-dyed suture is a clinical standard for high-load applications, such as heart valve replacements, tendon repairs, and cerclage, where suture failure is not an option.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Permanent Tensile Support: As a non-absorbable material, ETHIBOND EXCEL® does not lose strength over time, providing indefinite support for prosthetic implant fixation or ligamentous reconstruction.

• Polybutylate Coating Technology: The proprietary coating significantly reduces "sawing" and tissue trauma during passage, which is critical when working with friable cardiac tissue or dense orthopedic structures.

• Exceptional Knot Security: The braided architecture provides a multi-contact surface area that "locks" into place, preventing the knot slippage often seen in high-strength monofilaments.

• Atraumatic MO-7 Needle: The 22mm taper point (Mayo) needle is designed to spread tissue fibers rather than cut them. This makes it ideal for soft tissues such as the myocardium, fascia, and gastrointestinal tract where a leak-proof seal is required.

• High-Visibility Green Dye: The vibrant green color ensures the suture is easily distinguishable from blood and anatomical structures, facilitating precise placement in deep surgical cavities.
