Description

ETHILON™ Monofilament Suture, Black, 12", Size 9/0, TG140-8 Needle is a nonabsorbable synthetic suture constructed from long-chain aliphatic polymers, primarily nylon. Its monofilament design provides excellent tensile strength and smooth passage through tissue, reducing the risk of trauma during suturing. The suture’s composition ensures long-term stability, making it suitable for prolonged tissue approximation when absorbable alternatives are not indicated.

This suture features a fine spatula-type TG140-8 needle, specially designed for delicate ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures. The black dye enhances visibility against tissue, allowing for greater precision during placement. The 9/0 size and 12-inch length make it ideal for fine, controlled suturing in small anatomical areas.

ETHILON™ produces a minimal acute inflammatory response, contributing to lower tissue reactivity. Its inert properties support consistent healing without provoking significant immune reactions. This characteristic makes it well-suited for use in patients with heightened sensitivity or when reduced scarring is a priority.
