Gore 2N10A Gore-Tex CV-2 36" PH-24 24mm Doublearm BX/12 • Model: 2N10A • Brand: Gore-Tex • Suture Size: CV-2 • Length: 1X36" • Color: Undyed • Material/Composition: ePTFE Monofilament • Non-Absorbable • Needle Name: PH-24 • Needle Color: Silver • Needle Length: 24mm • Needle Point Type: 1/2 Circle The Gore‑Tex CV‑2 (2N10A) suture is crafted from a high-performance expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) monofilament, a material celebrated for its remarkable flexibility, biocompatibility, and resistance to tissue drag. This microporous structure ensures smooth passage through tissues with minimal resistance and helps reduce mechanical trauma and irritation—qualities that make it an excellent choice for demanding soft tissue approximation, especially in cardiovascular applications. Equipped with double-armed PH‑24 needles, each 24 mm in length with a ½‑circle piercing configuration, this suture allows for efficient, precise needle placement and suture handling. The piercing point aids in penetrating tough tissue planes, while the dual-needle setup enables surgeons to work from both ends, facilitating smoother knot-tying and tension control in deep or confined surgical fields. Packaged in sterile, single-use boxes of 12 opens, the 2N10A variant is tailored for operating room efficiency. Its nonabsorbable nature ensures long-term tissue support, making it suitable for durable vascular repairs or closures that require sustained tensile strength. The white coloration offers straightforward visibility against most tissue backgrounds, and each component—needle and thread—is designed to minimize bleeding through optimized needle-to-thread ratios, as highlighted in Gore’s product catalogues
