Description

Ethibond Excel Suture in CT-1, Size 0, Green, with a length of 30 inches, offers remarkable tensile strength and durability, making it ideal for surgical procedures requiring secure tissue approximation. Crafted from high-molecular-weight, long-chain, linear polyesters, this poly, nonabsorbable, braided suture is meticulously engineered to ensure reliable wound closure. Its braided design enhances handling and knot security while minimizing the risk of fraying or breakage during suturing.

Each strand of Ethibond Excel Suture is uniformly coated with a highly adherent compound, enhancing its lubricating properties and maneuverability within tissue layers. The green dye provides excellent visibility during procedures, aiding surgeons in precise placement and alignment. This suture's nonabsorbable nature ensures long-term tissue support without degradation, maintaining wound integrity over time.

The suture is meticulously packaged in sets of 36 units per box, ensuring sterility and convenience during surgical procedures. With its superior physical characteristics and reliable performance, Ethibond Excel Suture is a trusted choice for surgeons seeking precision, strength, and ease of use in demanding surgical environments.

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.
