Description

Suture, Ethilon Mono Black 5-0 18" PC12 is a nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of a long-chain aliphatic nylon polymer. Its monofilament structure provides high tensile strength, smooth tissue passage, and minimal tissue reactivity. The black coloration enhances visibility during placement, facilitating precise suture application in a variety of surgical procedures.

The PC-12 needle is a precision conventional cutting needle made from stainless steel. It features a 3/8 circle curvature and sharp cutting edge designed to pass through tough tissues such as skin with minimal resistance. The needle's configuration offers optimal control and consistent penetration, reducing the risk of tissue tearing or drag.

Ethilon suture demonstrates a low incidence of acute inflammatory reaction and supports clean wound healing due to its nonabsorbable nature and biologically inert composition. It retains strength over extended periods, with extremely slow degradation and encapsulation, typically taking one to two years when left in vivo.
