Description

D-Special Order ETHILON™ Nylon Suture Clear Monofilament Nonabsorbable Surgical Suture, 3-0, Ps-1, Undyed, 30" is a synthetic, nonabsorbable monofilament suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polyamides (nylon). It is specifically designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended tensile strength is required and suture removal is anticipated.

The monofilament configuration ensures a smooth surface that allows for easy passage through tissues with minimal resistance. This structure reduces the risk of tissue trauma and minimizes the potential for bacterial colonization. The suture demonstrates minimal tissue reactivity and provides reliable knot security while maintaining its mechanical integrity over prolonged periods.

The PS-1 needle is a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, designed for efficient penetration of tough or dense tissues such as skin. At 30 inches in length, the suture provides flexibility for use in various closure lengths and wound depths. The ETHILON™ brand is known for manufacturing precision-engineered sutures used in high-demand surgical settings.
