Ethicon Prolene is a brand of surgical suture material, and the notation "2/0" refers to the size or diameter of the suture. The cutting needle indicates the type of needle attached to the suture. A cutting needle is designed with a sharp edge, allowing it to cut through tissues, and it is often used for skin closure and in procedures where a clean, precise incision is needed.
So, "Ethicon Prolene 2/0 cutting needle" signifies a Prolene suture with a size of 2/0 and a cutting needle.

In Perfect sealed condition but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
