Description

The Ethilon Mono Black 4-0 Suture, 18" with FS-2 reverse cutting needle, is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture designed to provide reliable wound closure with minimal tissue trauma. Composed of a long polymer chain, Ethilon sutures offer excellent tensile strength and smooth handling, making them an ideal choice for a variety of surgical procedures.

Dyed black for enhanced visibility, Ethilon sutures are especially effective in situations where precise placement is crucial, such as in delicate or superficial tissue. The suture’s nonabsorbable nature provides extended wound support, making it ideal for use in external skin closures or in areas where prolonged healing is required.

The slow encapsulation and degradation of Ethilon sutures occur over a period of 1 to 2 years, ensuring that they remain intact and functional long after the initial procedure. This makes Ethilon a dependable choice for surgeons seeking a durable, long-lasting solution for wound closure.
