Ethicon Y426H - 4-0 27in MONOCRYL Undyed 1 x 27"/70cm, 36/BX

Controlled Manufacturing

Ethicon makes its own needle/suture combinations. Each step, from raw material to finished needle, is carefully controlled for uniformly superior performance.

Strong, Sharp Micrograin Stainless Steel

Ethicon makes its needles from premium grade stainless steel formulated specifically for surgical use. The Ethicon process controls the orientation of the micrograins so that ductility and strength are closely controlled - for strong needles that start sharp and stay sharp, thus assuring easy passage through tissue.

Super Smooth

Virtually all ATRALOC Surgical Needles have a micro-thin super-smooth finish that allows the needle to penetrate and pass through the toughest tissue with an almost fluid-like flow, with minimal resistance and drag, giving the surgeon a feeling of control.

Needle Swaging

Needles are permanently attached to the suture materials, eliminating the need for threading and providing a new, sharp needle each time. ATRALOC Needle swaging gives the surgeon a needle with an unbroken surface from end to end; without double strands, it draws through tissue easier with less tissue trauma.

Ribbed for Security and Control

Longitudinal ribbing on the inside and outside curvatures of most needles has a cross-locking action in the needleholder, which minimizes turning, rocking, or twisting, and provides unsurpassed needle control.
