Ethicon J726D 2-0 Coated VICRYL 8X18" CT-2 Control Release Box of 12

Ethicon J726D 2-0 Coated VICRYL Violet Suture | CT-2 26mm Control Release | Box of 12

The Ethicon J726D is a high-performance Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for maximum efficiency during multi-layer soft tissue closures. This Size 2-0 violet braided suture features Control Release™ (CR) "pop-off" technology, allowing the surgeon to detach the needle with a strategic tug—eliminating the need for surgical scissors and significantly speeding up the placement of interrupted sutures. Provided in a high-efficiency 8-strand multipack per individual packet, the J726D is the industry standard for rapid peritoneal closure, fascia repair, and gastrointestinal anastomosis.

The CT-2 (Circle Taper) needle is a 26mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Its precision-engineered tip is designed to push tissue fibers aside rather than cutting them, making it the preferred geometry for leak-proof closures in vascular-rich internal organs and delicate mucosal layers.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Control Release™ (CR) Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle interface allows for tool-free needle detachment, which significantly reduces operative time and reduces the risk of accidental glove punctures during rapid interrupted suturing.

• 8-Strand Multipack Utility: By providing eight pre-needled strands in a single sterile packet, the J726D streamlines the surgical field, reduces packaging waste, and ensures the scrub tech always has the next suture ready.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 2-0 suture, it provides robust mechanical support during the critical early healing window, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days post-implantation.

• Taper Point Precision: The 26mm CT-2 needle geometry is optimized for smooth penetration through soft tissue layers, reducing the risk of post-operative tissue tearing or unwanted bleeding.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, transferring the mechanical load to the regenerating tissue without leaving a permanent foreign body.

Condition & Quality Assurance
