Ethicon J946H 0 COATED VICRYL UNDYED 1X36" CT-1 Box of 36

Ethicon J946H 0 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | CT-1 36mm Taper Point | Box of 36

The Ethicon J946H is a high-tensile Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for robust soft tissue approximation and ligation. This Size 0 undyed braided suture is a clinical workhorse for deep-tissue closures, offering an extended 36-inch (90 cm) length that provides ample material for long continuous suture lines or multiple interrupted ties. Paired with the versatile CT-1 (Circle Taper) needle, the J946H is designed to penetrate internal tissue layers with minimal trauma, making it an ideal choice for the peritoneum, fascia, and general soft tissue repair.

The CT-1 needle is a 36mm, 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 or delicate internal structures.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Extended 36" Working Length: The extra length compared to standard 18" or 27" sutures makes the J946H more efficient for long abdominal or orthopedic incisions, reducing the frequency of opening new sterile packets mid-procedure.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 0 suture, it provides the robust mechanical support necessary for critical healing phases in high-tension areas, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Taper Point Precision: The 36mm CT-1 needle geometry is optimized for smooth penetration through soft tissue layers, reducing the risk of post-operative tissue tearing or unwanted bleeding.

• Exceptional Braided Handling: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues with minimal drag, while the braided construction offers the exceptional knot security for which the VICRYL® brand is known.

• 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.
