Description

Ethilon Monofilament Suture, Black, Size 3/0, 30", with FSLX needle, is a nonabsorbable synthetic suture composed of nylon (polyamide). Its monofilament construction offers excellent tensile strength while minimizing tissue trauma during passage. The black coloration enhances visibility in the surgical field, facilitating precise placement and ease of removal.

The FSLX needle is a reverse cutting type with a curvature optimized for dermatologic and general soft tissue applications. It ensures reliable tissue penetration and reduces the risk of needle deflection. The needle length and size complement the suture, making it suitable for delicate and superficial tissue closures.

Ethilon sutures exhibit high resistance to degradation in vivo, maintaining tensile strength for extended periods, making them suitable for long-term wound support. The nylon material is biocompatible, eliciting minimal tissue reaction and promoting optimal healing. The monofilament design resists bacterial colonization compared to braided sutures, reducing the risk of postoperative infection.

• High strength with long-chain, aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and 6.6
• Dyed black so theyre easy to see within tissue
