Description

Ethilon Mono Green 5-0 is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture composed of a long polymer chain, which provides durability and strength during the healing process. This suture is particularly suitable for use in delicate tissues, offering an extended support duration due to its slow degradation rate. It is dyed green to enhance visibility within the tissue, making it easy for surgeons to monitor its placement during procedures.

The monofilament construction of Ethilon suture reduces tissue drag, which minimizes the chance of trauma during insertion. This characteristic helps in achieving smoother tissue handling and contributes to faster recovery times, as it causes less irritation to the surrounding tissue. The suture has a minimal acute inflammatory response, allowing for a more favorable healing environment and a reduced risk of complications.

Ethilon Mono Green 5-0 is designed for use in a wide range of surgical procedures, particularly where prolonged suture support is required. Its slow encapsulation and degradation process, spanning 1 to 2 years, ensure that it maintains its integrity long enough to provide support during the initial phases of healing.
