Ethicon PDS II Sutures USP 1, 1/2 Circle Reverse Cutting Heavy - NW9374 -12 Foils

Ethicon PDS II Sutures are synthetic, absorbable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDS) material. These sutures are commonly used in surgeries, particularly in soft tissue approximation and ligation.USP 1 refers to the size of the suture, with USP standing for United States Pharmacopeia. It is a standardized system that measures the diameter of the suture thread. In this case, the suture has a diameter of approximately 0.2 mm.The 1/2 Circle Reverse Cutting Heavy designation refers to the shape and design of the needle. The needle has a half-circle shape, which is commonly used for deep tissues and hard-to-reach areas. The reverse cutting design means that the needle has a cutting edge on the opposite side of the curve, which allows for easier penetration through tough tissues. The heavy designation indicates that the needle is larger and stronger than a standard needle, which makes it suitable for more challenging surgical procedures.The NW9374 code is likely an internal product code or reference number used by Ethicon for tracking and inventory purposes.
