Description

Ethilon Monofilament Suture is a nonabsorbable surgical suture made from a long polymer chain. The suture is designed to provide reliable wound closure with minimal tissue reaction. Its monofilament construction ensures smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma during suturing.

The suture is dyed black to improve visibility against tissue, aiding in precise placement and easy removal when necessary. The coloration enhances differentiation from surrounding tissues, which is critical during delicate surgical procedures. Ethilon’s surface is smooth, minimizing bacterial adherence and reducing the risk of infection.

The suture utilizes a spatula needle, which facilitates controlled and accurate needle placement. This needle type is specifically designed to minimize tissue damage while providing secure tissue approximation. The size 10/0 is particularly suited for microsurgical and ophthalmic procedures requiring fine suturing.
