The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Suture W995 is a heavy-gauge, non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, designed for procedures requiring exceptional tensile strength and permanent metallic wound support.

The USP 5 size and wire diameter 5 provide substantial tensile performance suitable for high-tension closures, orthopaedic procedures and surgical applications where rigid structural reinforcement is essential. The 75 cm silver strand offers extended working length and dependable handling in demanding operative environments.

W995 is supplied with a CPXX reverse cutting needle. 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 settings requiring permanent metallic closure support.
