The J496G Suture is a 4-0 Coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910) suture, featuring an 18-inch undyed braided design. This synthetic absorbable suture is known for its superior handling properties, excellent knot security, and smooth tissue passage. The PS-2, precision-point cutting needle is ideal for reducing tissue trauma while providing accurate suturing in delicate procedures. Coated with polyglactin to minimize tissue drag, this suture is designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation, offering temporary wound support and predictable absorption.

Indications
The J496G Suture is indicated for soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in procedures where absorbable sutures are needed. It is frequently used in general, gynecologic, and ophthalmic surgeries.
Absorption Profile
The suture maintains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at 2-3 weeks and is completely absorbed by the body via hydrolysis in 56-70 days, offering sufficient support during the critical healing period.
Packaging
Each suture is individually packaged in a sterile, tamper-proof container for safe and efficient use in surgical settings. The 18-inch length is well-suited for smaller procedures requiring precision.
Ideal For
The J496G Suture is ideal for soft tissue closure in general surgery, gynecology, and ophthalmic procedures, where controlled absorbability and superior handling are essential for wound healing.
