The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture W902 is a heavy-gauge, non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, designed for demanding veterinary and animal health procedures requiring permanent wound support and exceptional tensile strength.

The USP 5 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for high-tension closures in large animal surgery and veterinary applications where rigid metallic reinforcement is essential. The 75 cm silver strand provides extended working length and controlled handling in challenging operative environments.

W902 is supplied single-armed 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. The rotating needle feature allows improved directional control and efficient tissue passage during placement.

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