Description

ETHILON™ Monofilament Suture, Size 8/0, Black, 12", with TG100-8 needle, is a sterile, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polyamides (nylon). It is designed for use in soft tissue approximation where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity are desired. Its monofilament structure ensures a smooth passage through tissue, reducing the potential for trauma.

This suture is dyed black to enhance visibility during placement, particularly in microsurgical and ophthalmic applications where precision is critical. The material exhibits minimal memory, allowing for easier handling and reliable knot security. The smooth surface reduces tissue drag and provides consistent performance during delicate procedures.

The TG100-8 needle is a fine, precision needle specifically engineered for microsurgical applications, offering accuracy and minimal tissue trauma. ETHILON™ 8/0 is commonly used in ophthalmic, vascular, and nerve repair surgeries requiring exceptionally fine sutures with durable performance and excellent tissue compatibility.
