Description

Ethibond Braided Suture, Mo-6, Green, 8" x 18" features a taper point needle designed for precision in tissue penetration. The suture is composed of high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyester fibers, providing strength and durability for surgical applications. Its braided construction enhances flexibility and handling, facilitating smooth passage through tissue with minimal trauma.

The suture is coated with a highly adherent, nonabsorbable compound that functions as a lubricant. This coating reduces tissue drag and improves knot security by enhancing the suture’s physical handling properties. The coating also contributes to the suture's resistance to fraying and abrasion, increasing overall reliability during procedures.

Ethibond’s polyester composition ensures nonabsorbability, allowing it to maintain tensile strength over an extended period, which is essential for supporting long-term tissue approximation and healing. The green coloration enhances visibility within the surgical field, aiding in suture placement and removal.
