Description

The Ethibond Suture, in a green color, with a size of 3-0 and a length of 18 inches, is a braided non-absorbable surgical suture designed for durable tissue approximation. Composed of polyester, this braided suture provides excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity.

The suture comes with an FS-1 (French Scale) needle for precise and controlled stitching.

The 3-0 size is ideal for various surgical procedures, offering a balance between strength and fine closure capabilities. The 18-inch length provides ample material for stitching, ensuring versatility in the surgical setting.

The braided nature of the Ethibond suture enhances its tensile strength, making it suitable for situations where prolonged support is required. The green color aids visibility during surgery.

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.
