The Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Twisted Suture W311 is a non-absorbable stainless steel suture designed for veterinary and animal health procedures requiring permanent wound support and durable tensile strength.

Constructed from twisted stainless steel, this configuration provides enhanced flexibility compared to rigid monofilament wire while maintaining high tensile integrity. The USP 3-0 size delivers reliable strength suitable for veterinary soft tissue approximation and wound closure in demanding surgical environments.

The 75 cm silver strand offers extended working length and controlled handling. W311 is supplied single-armed with one MH-1 taper point needle measuring approximately 31 mm. The taper point configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue while preserving tissue integrity and supporting precise wound edge adaptation.
