Description

Suture, Ethibond Excel, Size 2, 27", MO-7 Needle is a nonabsorbable braided surgical suture composed of high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyester (polyethylene terephthalate). It is designed for superior tensile strength and minimal elongation, ensuring consistent and reliable tissue approximation in surgical procedures requiring permanent wound support.

The suture features a polybutylate coating that reduces tissue drag and enhances handling properties. This coating acts as a lubricant, allowing for smooth passage through tissue while maintaining strong knot security. Ethibond Excel exhibits minimal fraying and high pliability, offering predictable performance even in complex surgical environments.

With its MO-7 taper point needle, the suture is suited for soft tissue applications, including cardiovascular, general, orthopedic, and ophthalmic surgery. The needle's 1/2 circle curvature and sharp tapering enable easy penetration with minimal trauma to delicate tissues, ensuring precise placement and reducing tissue disruption.
