Description

ETHIBOND EXCEL™ Suture, Size 5/0, 30", Green, with LR needle, is a sterile nonabsorbable surgical suture made from high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyester (polyethylene terephthalate). It is specifically designed for soft tissue approximation in surgeries requiring permanent tensile strength and durable wound support.

The suture is braided to provide enhanced flexibility, improved knot security, and superior handling performance. This braided structure allows the suture to pass smoothly through tissue while offering controlled tension and precision during suturing. Its consistent texture and high tensile strength make it well-suited for delicate and high-tension closures.

The suture is supplied in green for improved intraoperative visibility. The LR needle features a reverse cutting design, enabling precise penetration through dense or fibrous tissue. This configuration is commonly used in ophthalmic, plastic, cardiovascular, and microsurgical procedures where reliable performance, permanent support, and reduced tissue reactivity are critical.
