Ethicon J495H 5-0 Coated Vicryl Undyed 1 x 18" PS-2 36 BX

Ethicon J495H 5-0 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | PS-2 19mm Prime Reverse Cutting | Box of 36

The Ethicon J495H is a high-precision Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, meticulously engineered for delicate soft tissue approximation where aesthetic results are the primary goal. This Size 5-0 undyed braided suture is a clinical gold standard for subcuticular skin closures and facial reconstruction, offering a natural, low-visibility profile that won't "show through" thin dermal layers. Paired with the elite PS-2 (Plastic Surgery) needle, the J495H provides exceptional control and reduced penetration force, ensuring exact wound edge alignment in the most sensitive anatomical areas.

The PS-2 needle is a 19mm, 3/8 circle Prime™ Reverse Cutting needle. Crafted from high-strength surgical alloy, this MultiPass™ needle is designed to maintain its superior sharpness through multiple passes, significantly reducing tissue trauma and post-operative inflammatory responses.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Prime™ Needle Sharpness: The PS-2 needle features a specialized geometry that requires significantly less penetration force than standard cutting needles, allowing for effortless passage through tough dermis without "bunching" the tissue.

• MultiPass™ Durability: Engineered to remain sharp pass after pass, the MultiPass™ technology ensures consistent performance throughout the entire closure, making it ideal for intricate, multi-layer interrupted suturing.

• Superior Tensile Strength: Despite its fine 5-0 diameter, 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 with minimal drag, while the braided structure provides the superior knot security required for tension-free cosmetic closures.

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