Ethicon J841D 1 Coated VICRYL UNDYED 1X18" CT-1 36mm Box of 12

Ethicon Coated VICRYL™ | Size 1 | 18" Length | CT-1 Control Release™ | J841D

The Ethicon J841D is a heavy-duty synthetic absorbable suture composed of Polyglactin 910. As a Size 1 braided filament, it is specifically engineered for high-tension anatomical sites, such as the abdominal fascia and deep muscle layers, where robust mechanical support is required during the initial 3-week healing phase. The Undyed (White) color provides a low-profile aesthetic, making it ideal for sub-dermal or thin-tissue closures where a colored suture might otherwise "show through."

A defining clinical feature of the J841D is the Control Release™ (CR) technology. This "pop-off" needle attachment allows the surgeon to detach the needle from the strand with a quick, deliberate tug. This facilitates rapid, interrupted suturing in deep cavities without the need for surgical scissors, significantly streamlining the workflow during complex abdominal or pelvic reconstructions.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Control Release™ (CR) Workflow: The "pop-off" design is a major efficiency driver in the OR. By allowing for tool-free needle detachment, it reduces the number of instrument exchanges and prevents the clutter of used needles in the operative field during multi-point interrupted closures.

• Size 1 Fascia Strength: Designed for the most demanding soft-tissue applications, this Size 1 suture retains approximately 75% of its initial tensile strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days. This predictable strength loss allows the healing tissue to gradually assume the mechanical load.

• Atraumatic CT-1 Needle: The 36mm taper point needle is designed to spread tissue fibers rather than cut them. This results in a tighter needle-hole interface, which is critical for "leak-proof" closures in the peritoneum, bladder, and uterine wall.

• Proprietary VICRYL® Coating: The suture is coated with a mixture of caprolactone and glycolide copolymer plus calcium stearate. This ensuring smooth passage through tough fibrous tissue ("reduced drag") while maintaining the exceptional knot-security for which braided VICRYL™ is known.

• Complete Hydrolytic Absorption: The Polyglactin 910 material is absorbed predictably via hydrolysis, with essentially all mass gone between 56 and 70 days, leaving no permanent foreign body once the wound has reached natural maturity.

Applications

• General Surgery: Robust interrupted closure of the linea alba, abdominal fascia, and peritoneum.

• OB/GYN: Secure closure of the uterine incision during Cesarean sections and vaginal cuff repair.

• Orthopedics: High-tensile approximation of deep muscle layers and joint capsules.

• Trauma Surgery: Rapid stabilization of high-tension soft tissue injuries where speed and strength are paramount.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed & Sterile.

• Integrity: This medical supply is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile barrier. Both the inner foil pouches and the outer box of 12 are intact, ensuring full sterile integrity and lot traceability for clinical use.
