Ethicon MX69G ETHIBOND EXCEL 2 Green 4X30" V-37 40mm TAPERCUT Surgical Needle BX/12

Ethicon ETHIBOND EXCEL® 2 Suture | MX69G | 40mm V-37 TAPERCUT™ | 30" Green | BX/12

The Ethicon MX69G is a high-tensile, non-absorbable surgical suture engineered for the most demanding soft-tissue fixations. Composed of braided Polyethylene Terephthalate (Polyester) and coated with Polybutylate, this Size 2 suture provides the structural integrity required for high-load applications like rotator cuff repair, Achilles tendon reconstruction, and sternal closures.

This specific configuration is a "multi-strand" pack, containing 4 strands of 30-inch suture per foil. It features the V-37 TAPERCUT™ needle—a hybrid design that combines a reverse-cutting tip with a round taper body. This allows the needle to penetrate dense, calcified, or fibrous tissue (like tendons or scar tissue) with minimal effort while preventing the "hole enlargement" typically caused by standard cutting needles.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• TAPERCUT™ Performance: The V-37 needle features a small cutting point that easily initiates penetration through tough fascia or fibrocartilage, while the smooth taper body ensures a "plug-fit" seal to prevent suture-hole bleeding or leakage.

• Exceptional Tensile Strength: ETHIBOND EXCEL® is virtually unbreakable during manual knot tying, providing permanent support that does not diminish over time.

• Reduced Tissue Drag: The Polybutylate coating acts as a high-performance lubricant, allowing the heavy Size 2 braid to glide through tissue with the ease of a monofilament while maintaining the knot security of a braid.

• Optimized for Orthopedics: The Size 2 gauge is the "workhorse" diameter for ligamentous and tendon-to-bone reattachment, offering the necessary bulk to prevent tissue pull-through.

• Multi-Strand Efficiency: Packaging 4 strands per foil reduces instrument hand-offs and packaging waste during complex procedures like total joint arthroplasty or multi-level spinal stabilization.
