Description

Black Ethilon 1 LR 30" Suture is a nonabsorbable monofilament surgical suture composed of a long polymer chain of nylon. Its monofilament structure provides excellent tensile strength and smooth passage through tissue, reducing tissue trauma during suturing. This suture maintains its strength over an extended period, making it suitable for procedures requiring long-term wound support.

The suture is dyed black to enhance visibility within the surgical field, aiding surgeons in precise placement and handling. Its color contrast allows for easier differentiation from surrounding tissues, which is particularly valuable in complex or delicate surgeries. The suture’s smooth surface minimizes tissue drag, promoting atraumatic handling.

Black Ethilon suture is designed to provoke minimal acute inflammatory response, which helps reduce tissue irritation and promotes favorable healing conditions. The suture’s slow encapsulation and degradation process occurs over one to two years, providing durable mechanical support throughout the healing phase.
