Description

Ethilon Mono Black 6-0 18 PS3 is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture made from a long polymer chain, providing excellent performance in various surgical procedures. The suture is dyed black, enhancing its visibility within tissue, which aids in precise placement and maneuverability during surgeries.

The Ethilon suture is designed to elicit minimal acute inflammatory responses from surrounding tissue. This feature helps in reducing postoperative complications and promotes a smoother recovery process for the patient. The suture’s monofilament structure contributes to its ability to glide smoothly through tissues, reducing tissue drag and minimizing trauma during insertion.

Ethilon suture demonstrates an extremely slow encapsulation and degradation rate, with an expected duration of 1 to 2 years. This prolonged duration of function ensures that the suture remains intact and effective for an extended period, providing reliable support in both superficial and deep tissue repairs.

Due to its durable and stable nature, Ethilon Mono Black 6-0 18 PS3 is well-suited for a wide range of surgical applications, including ophthalmic, orthopedic, and general soft tissue procedures, where long-term support is required.
