Ethicon M8775 7-0 PROLENE BLUE 4X24" BV175-7 DOUBLE ARMED Box of 12

Ethicon PROLENE® Polypropylene 7-0 | M8775 | Double-Armed 8mm BV175-7 | 24" Blue | BX/12 (Open Box)

The Ethicon M8775 (PROLENE®) represents the pinnacle of microsurgical wound closure. In Size 7-0 (0.5 metric), this suture is engineered for the delicate requirements of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and microvascular anastomoses. Unlike standard sutures, this "4x24" configuration provides four separate 24-inch strands per sterile packet, significantly increasing surgical efficiency during complex, multi-site vascular procedures.

Each strand is Double-Armed with two BV175-7 (Blood Vessel 175-7) needles. These 8mm needles are among the finest in the Ethicon catalog, specifically designed to penetrate fragile vessel walls with the absolute minimum of force and tissue displacement.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• High-Efficiency 4-Strand Loading: By providing four double-armed sutures in a single packet, the M8775 reduces the time spent opening individual units during a bypass or micro-reconstruction, streamlining the sterile field and lowering waste.

• BV175-7 Micro-Needle Precision: The 8mm BV175-7 needle is designed for a 175-micron wire diameter. This extreme thinness, combined with a hand-honed taper point, allows for sub-millimeter needle-to-suture ratio accuracy, which is vital for preventing post-operative leaks in pressurized micro-vessels.

• MultiPass® Sharpness Retention: The needles are treated with a proprietary coating that allows them to glide through calcified or atherosclerotic tissue without dulling. This consistency is critical for maintaining control throughout the entire arc of an anastomosis.

• Inert Monofilament Surface: PROLENE® is a synthetic linear polyolefin that elicits virtually zero inflammatory response. Its smooth surface ensures the suture passes through delicate endothelium without "sawing," promoting rapid and clean healing.

• Permanent Tensile Integrity: Unlike absorbable sutures, PROLENE® remains intact indefinitely. It provides the long-term mechanical support necessary for permanent vascular conduits and synthetic graft attachments.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: New, Open Box – Full Count (12/12).

• Integrity: While the outer cardboard box has been opened, all 12 individual foil packets are factory-sealed and sterile. Each internal unit has been inspected to ensure the sterile barrier is uncompromised and the expiration date is viable.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical logistics, Primis Medical ensures all Ethicon inventory is rigorously inspected for lot-specific viability and storage compliance.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in specialized, reinforced packaging to protect the ultra-fine 8mm BV175-7 needles and maintain the pristine condition of the internal sterile seals.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
