The Ethicon 852H is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture made from purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal layer of sheep intestines. Classified as a "plain gut" suture, it is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly where rapid absorption is desired. The 852H variant features a 3-0 suture size, a 27-inch (70 cm) monofilament strand, and is equipped with a CT (Circle Taper) 40 mm ½ circle taper point needle. The suture is yellowish-tan in color and is packaged for single-use sterile procedures.
