Subject: NO LUCK WITH ETHICON

Suture Selection Criteria

Follow these steps to determine the ideal suture for your procedure.

Step 1

Know the Sutures in the Novartis-Ethicon Family

Step 2

Know Your Tissue Healing Rate

Step 3

Select the Correct Tensile Strength for the Tissue

Step 4

Choose the Correct Needle

TAPER NEEDLES

Used in easily penetrated tissues such as peritoneum, abdominal viscera, subcutaneous layers, etc.
Minimizes tissue "cut-out". Smallest possible hole in tissue is created with minimal tissue cutting.
Also ideal for closing hollow organs to prevent damage.

REVERSE CUTTING NEEDLES

Used in tough, difficult to penetrate tissues such as skin, fascia, ligament, etc.
Less tissue "cut-out" than standard cutting needles.
