Ethicon Y416H 3-0 Monocryl 1X27" SH 26mm ETHALLOY BX/36

Ethicon MONOCRYL® 3-0 Suture | Y416H | 26mm SH Needle | 27" Undyed | BX/36

The Ethicon Y416H is a high-performance, synthetic monofilament absorbable suture that combines the rapid absorption of Poliglecaprone 25 with the structural versatility of a Size 3-0 gauge. This specific configuration is a surgical staple for deep soft tissue layers, utilizing the SH (Small Half-circle) taper needle. Unlike cutting needles used for skin, the SH taper point is designed to "pierce and spread" tissue, making it the clinical preference for gastrointestinal, urological, and gynecological procedures where a leak-proof, atraumatic seal is required.

Engineered with ETHALLOY® needle alloy, the Y416H provides superior resistance to bending and breakage, ensuring the needle maintains its factory sharpness even when passed through dense internal fascia or myometrium.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• ETHALLOY® Precision: The proprietary needle alloy allows for a slimmer needle geometry without sacrificing strength, providing easier penetration through tissue with reduced displacement.

• Atraumatic Taper Geometry: The 26mm SH needle is optimized for internal organs and subcuticular layers; it lacks cutting edges, which prevents accidental "linear trauma" or widening of the puncture site.

• Smooth Monofilament Delivery: MONOCRYL® virtually eliminates tissue drag, a critical factor when suturing friable internal tissues or creating continuous anastomoses.

• Predictable Absorption Profile: Retains 50% to 60% of initial tensile strength at 7 days and 20% to 30% at 14 days, with mass absorption typically complete between 91 and 119 days.

• Exceptional Knot Security: Despite its monofilament nature, the Poliglecaprone 25 polymer is highly pliable, allowing knots to sit flat and remain secure, reducing the risk of postoperative dehiscence.
