The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture F2706 is a non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, engineered for procedures requiring durable tensile strength and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 size provides reliable tensile performance suitable for soft tissue approximation and surgical applications where long-term metallic stability is essential. The extended 75 cm silver strand allows improved working length and controlled handling within the operative field.

F2706 is supplied single-armed with one X-1 reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 22 mm. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through dense or fibrous tissue while reducing the risk of tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge alignment.

Manufactured from stainless steel alloy 420, this suture maintains tensile integrity indefinitely. Supplied sterile and single-use in a Box of 12, it is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable metallic wound closure.
