Description

Suture, Ethibond 2-0 30 Green CT-1 is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical thread composed of polyester fiber. Known for its robustness and durability, Ethibond is braided to enhance tensile strength and knot security during surgical procedures.

The green color of the suture aids in visibility, allowing surgeons to easily distinguish it from surrounding tissues, which is particularly advantageous in complex surgeries requiring meticulous tissue approximation.

The 2-0 size and 30-inch length of Ethibond, combined with the CT-1 needle, make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including orthopedic, cardiovascular, and general soft tissue surgeries. The CT-1 needle is characterized by its sharpness and cutting edge, facilitating precise tissue penetration and smooth passage through various tissues without causing excessive trauma.

Ethibond's polyester composition provides resistance to fraying and minimizes the risk of tissue drag, ensuring secure knots and reliable wound closure. Its nonabsorbable nature means that it maintains its structural integrity over time, providing long-term support in situations where permanent suturing is required.

A nonabsorbable, braided, sterile, surgical suture composed of Poly (ethylene, terephthalate). It is prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. It is uniformly coated with polybutilate or poly {oxy-1, 4 butanediyloxy (1, 6-dioxo-1, 6 hexanediyl)}. The highly adherent coating is a relatively nonreactive nonabsorbable compound which acts as a lubricant to mechanically improve the physical p roperties of the uncoated suture by improving handling qualities as contrasted to the braided, uncoated fiber. The suture is braided for optimal handling properties, and dyed green for enhanced visibility in the surgical field.
