Description

Ethibond Excel Suture, SH, Size 2/0, Green, 30" is a nonabsorbable, braided surgical suture composed of polyester fibers. It is designed to offer superior tensile strength and flexibility during soft tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical procedures. The green color of the suture enhances visibility during placement in tissue.

The suture is coated with a polybutylate compound, a relatively nonreactive material that significantly reduces tissue drag and improves knot security. This coating acts as a lubricant, enhancing the mechanical handling characteristics compared to uncoated braided fibers. The improved pliability and consistent performance allow for precise suture placement and reliable wound closure.

Ethibond Excel features a taper point SH (Surgical Heart) needle, which is designed for smooth passage through soft tissues while minimizing trauma. The needle is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring sharpness and strength during suturing. Its 30-inch length provides adequate reach for deep or extensive closures.
