The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture M651G is a heavy-gauge, non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, engineered for procedures requiring exceptional tensile strength and permanent metallic wound support.

The USP 4 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for high-tension closures, orthopaedic procedures and surgical applications where rigid reinforcement is essential. This configuration includes four individual 18-inch (45 cm) silver strands per pack, offering controlled working length and multi-strand flexibility during demanding procedures.

M651G is supplied single-armed with a V-40 tapercut needle measuring approximately 48 mm. The tapercut design combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration through dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining smooth passage and reducing unnecessary tissue trauma.

This stainless steel suture maintains tensile integrity indefinitely and is supplied sterile and single-use in a Box of 12, intended for professional surgical settings requiring permanent metallic closure.
