Ethicon J840D 0 Coated VICRYL Undyed Suture | CT-1 Control Release | Box of 12

The Ethicon J840D is a high-strength Coated VICRYL® (Polyglactin 910) synthetic absorbable suture, engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation. This Size 0 undyed braided suture is a clinical staple for deep-tissue closures where high tensile strength and minimal visibility are required. A key feature of the J840D is the Control Release™ (CR) "pop-off" technology, which allows the surgeon to detach the needle with a strategic tug—eliminating the need for surgical scissors and accelerating the closure of the fascia, peritoneum, or vaginal cuff.

The CT-1 (Circle Taper) needle is a 36mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Unlike cutting needles, the taper point is designed to push tissue fibers apart rather than cutting them, making it the ideal choice for leak-proof closures in vascular-rich or delicate internal soft tissues.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Control Release™ (CR) Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle design significantly reduces operative time during interrupted suturing by allowing for rapid, tool-free needle detachment.

• Taper Point Precision: The CT-1 needle geometry is optimized for smooth penetration through soft tissue layers, reducing the risk of post-operative tissue tearing or unwanted bleeding.

• Superior Tensile Strength: As a Size 0 suture, it provides the robust mechanical support necessary for critical healing phases, retaining approximately 75% of its strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days.

• Excellent Handling: The proprietary coating ensures a smooth "zip" through tissues with minimal drag, while the braided construction offers the exceptional knot security for which the VICRYL® brand is known.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes complete absorption via hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, leaving no permanent foreign body once the tissue has regained its natural strength.
