Description

Suture, ETHIBOND™ 0 Ties 6X18 is a sterile, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of high molecular weight, long-chain polyester fibers. The material offers excellent tensile strength and stability, making it suitable for prolonged wound support where absorbable sutures may be inadequate. It is manufactured with a braided structure that contributes to better handling and pliability during knot tying procedures.

This suture is commonly used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and orthopedic procedures, as well as in general soft tissue approximation where extended tensile strength is necessary. Its nonabsorbable nature ensures that it maintains its strength indefinitely, providing lasting support especially in high-tension applications such as tendon or ligament repair.

Each unit contains 6 strands of 18-inch ties in size 0, facilitating usage in procedures where multiple ties are required. The braided structure and polyester composition ensure consistency in knot performance and predictable outcomes across surgical specialties.
