The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture 603G is a non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, designed for applications requiring exceptional tensile strength and permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 size provides controlled tensile performance suitable for precise tissue approximation where long-term stability is essential. The 18-inch (45 cm) silver strand ensures reliable handling and accurate knot placement within the operative field.

603G is supplied single-armed with one FS-2 reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 19 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.

This stainless steel suture is non-absorbable and 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.
