Description

Ethilon Black Monofilament Nylon Nonabsorbable Surgical Suture, 4-0, S/A, FSL, 30" is a synthetic, nonabsorbable suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polyamides. Its monofilament structure ensures smooth passage through tissue and minimizes drag, reducing the risk of trauma during suturing. The material is chemically inert, making it suitable for long-term tissue support.

This suture is dyed black to enhance visibility against various tissue backgrounds, supporting accurate placement and ease of handling. Its uniform diameter and smooth surface contribute to consistent tension and secure knotting. The FSL needle is a fine, curved cutting needle designed for general closure in superficial and subcutaneous tissue.

Ethilon produces only a minimal acute inflammatory response, which supports favorable healing conditions. Due to its nonabsorbable nature, the suture maintains tensile strength over time, making it appropriate for skin closure, soft tissue approximation, and situations where extended wound support is required.
