Description

Ethibond Excel Suture, Size 2/0, features a braided construction composed of high-quality polyester fibers. This design provides excellent tensile strength and flexibility, ensuring reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation. The braided structure enhances knot security and handling, facilitating ease of use during surgical procedures. The suture is nonabsorbable, making it suitable for long-term tissue support where permanent wound closure is required.

The suture is coated with a highly adherent, relatively nonreactive compound. This coating acts as a lubricant, significantly improving handling characteristics by reducing friction. The coating enhances smooth passage through tissue and reduces the risk of tissue trauma. Compared to uncoated braided sutures, Ethibond Excel offers superior glide and maneuverability, promoting surgical efficiency and precision.

Equipped with a taper point needle, the suture provides controlled tissue penetration with minimal trauma. The needle design is optimal for delicate and general soft tissue surgeries, supporting precise placement and reducing tissue damage. The green coloration of the suture increases visibility in the surgical field, assisting surgeons during knot tying and suture removal.
