Ethicon Y215H MONOCRYL 3-0 Undyed 1X27" RB-1 17mm ETHALLOY BX/36

Ethicon MONOCRYL® 3-0 Suture | Y215H | 17mm RB-1 Needle | 27" Undyed | BX/36

The Ethicon Y215H is a high-performance, synthetic monofilament absorbable suture composed of Poliglecaprone 25. Known for its exceptional pliability and "smooth-as-glass" passage through delicate tissues, MONOCRYL® is the clinical standard for procedures where minimal tissue reaction and rapid absorption are required.

This specific 3-0 undyed configuration features the RB-1 (Renal Bypass) needle, a specialized taper point constructed from ETHALLOY® needle alloy. This combination is particularly favored for internal soft tissue layers, such as the peritoneum, bladder, or bowel, where a non-cutting needle is essential to prevent accidental leakage or trauma to vascular structures.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• ETHALLOY® Needle Technology: Constructed from a proprietary surgical steel alloy, the RB-1 needle offers superior ductility and strength, reducing the risk of needle bending or breaking during passage through dense internal fascia.

• Atraumatic Taper Point: The 17mm RB-1 needle is designed to "pierce and spread" tissue fibers rather than cut them. This is critical in urological and cardiovascular applications to ensure a "hole-tight" seal around the suture filament.

• Superior Handling: MONOCRYL® is unique among monofilaments for its low "memory," meaning it lies flat out of the package and offers knot security comparable to many braided sutures.

• Predictable Absorption Profile: Maintains roughly 50–60% of its initial tensile strength at 7 days, with essentially complete absorption via hydrolysis within 91 to 119 days.

• Monofilament Safety: The smooth surface prevents the "wicking" of bacteria into the wound site, making it highly suitable for use in deep tissue layers where infection risk must be minimized.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: New – Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: This item is in its original manufacturer's packaging. The sterile barrier of each of the 36 foils is intact, ensuring absolute clinical readiness for the operating room.

• Storage: Maintained in a climate-controlled, medical-grade environment to ensure the chemical stability of the Poliglecaprone polymer.

• Expertise: With over 25 years of experience in surgical disposables, Primis Medical verifies that all Ethicon stock is inspected for expiration viability and seal integrity.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in specialized packaging to prevent crushing of the 36-count box and to protect the internal sterile foils.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
