Description

Ethilon Mono Black 4-0 18 FS1 is a high-quality nonabsorbable monofilament suture designed for long-term performance in surgical procedures. Composed of a long polymer chain, Ethilon suture provides exceptional strength and durability, ensuring reliable tissue support over extended periods.

To enhance visibility during surgical procedures, Ethilon sutures are dyed black or green. This color coding allows for improved contrast against various tissue types, facilitating precise placement and monitoring of the suture line. The enhanced visibility helps in maintaining accuracy and efficiency throughout the surgical process.

Ethilon sutures are designed to elicit a minimal acute inflammatory response from tissue. This property is crucial for promoting optimal healing conditions and minimizing potential complications. The suture’s biocompatibility ensures that the surrounding tissue responds favorably, supporting the healing process without undue irritation.

The encapsulation and degradation of Ethilon Mono Black sutures occur extremely slowly, with a timeline of 1 to 2 years. This extended degradation period allows for sustained support of the tissue as it heals, making it suitable for procedures where long-term suture retention is essential.
