Description

Ethilon Mono Black 5-0 18 PC1 Suture is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture designed for use in various surgical procedures. This suture is composed of a long polymer chain, providing enhanced strength and durability. The monofilament structure ensures minimal tissue drag and smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma during suturing.

The conventional cutting needle used with Ethilon suture is specifically designed to penetrate and cut through tissue efficiently, making it ideal for procedures requiring precision and control. The suture is dyed black, which enhances its visibility against tissue, aiding in accurate placement and knot tying during surgery.

Ethilon sutures are known for their minimal acute inflammatory response, contributing to reduced postoperative complications. The nonabsorbable nature of the suture means that it maintains its integrity and strength for an extended period, typically exhibiting extremely slow encapsulation and degradation over 1 to 2 years.
