Ethicon J977H 1 Coated VICRYL 1X36" CTX 48mm ATRALOC BX/36

Ethicon J977H 1 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | CTX 48mm Taper Point | Box of 36

The Ethicon J977H is a high-tensile Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, specifically engineered for robust soft tissue approximation and heavy-gauge ligation. This Size 1 undyed braided suture is a clinical gold standard for major abdominal closures and fascia repair, offering an extended 36-inch (90 cm) length that provides maximum material for long continuous suture lines. Paired with the extra-large CTX (Circle Taper Extra-Large) needle, the J977H is designed to penetrate thick, dense tissue layers with exceptional control and minimal trauma.

The CTX needle is a robust 48mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Its precision-engineered ATRALOC® technology ensures a smooth transition from needle to suture, reducing "tissue drag" and making it the preferred choice for securing the peritoneum and heavy abdominal fascia.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 1 suture, it provides the maximum mechanical support required for the early phases of wound healing in high-stress areas, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• ATRALOC® Needle Technology: The 48mm CTX needle is designed for superior strength and ductility, maintaining its sharp taper point through multiple passes of dense, fibrous tissue without bending or dulling.

• Extended 36" Working Length: The generous length is optimized for the "Smead-Jones" closure or other continuous techniques, reducing the need to open additional sterile packets during major laparotomies.

• Exceptional Knot Security: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues while providing the exceptional first-throw knot security for which the VICRYL® brand is globally recognized.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, transferring the mechanical load to the regenerating tissue as it regains its natural strength.
