Description
Ethilon is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture, primarily composed of nylon, offering high tensile strength and excellent durability. It is engineered for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation, providing a reliable solution for surgical procedures that require long-term tissue support. The suture is dyed black to improve visibility during surgeries, making it easier for surgeons to work in deeper or darker tissue areas.
The Pliabilized version of Ethilon suture is designed with enhanced flexibility, allowing for easier handling and knot tying, which reduces tissue trauma during insertion. It is used with a conventional cutting needle, providing a sharp, clean incision path with minimal tissue damage. This suture offers a low tissue reaction, promoting a faster healing process with minimal scarring.
Ethilon is known for its extremely slow encapsulation and degradation, lasting from one to two years in the body, which makes it ideal for situations requiring long-term support. It is particularly effective in areas where the suture needs to stay in place for extended periods, such as in vascular or neurological surgeries.
