The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture MEH7216G 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 5 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for high-tension closures, orthopaedic procedures and surgical applications where rigid structural reinforcement is essential. This configuration includes six individual 45 cm silver strands per pack, offering enhanced flexibility and multi-strand efficiency in demanding operative environments.

MEH7216G is supplied with a CPXX reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 55 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 maintains tensile integrity indefinitely and is supplied sterile and single-use in a Box of 12, intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable permanent metallic closure.
