The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture EH7216G is a heavy-gauge, non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, designed for procedures requiring exceptional tensile strength and permanent wound support.

The USP 5 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for high-tension closures, orthopaedic procedures and surgical applications where rigid metallic support is essential. The 45 cm silver strand ensures controlled handling and dependable knot security within demanding operative environments.

EH7216G is supplied single-armed with one CPXX reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 55 mm. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through dense, fibrous or tough tissue while reducing the risk of tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge alignment.

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 wound closure.
