Description

Ethibond Excel Suture, Size 5/0, Green, 36", equipped with an RB-1 taper point needle, is a nonabsorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. The suture is composed of braided polyester fibers, providing enhanced strength and durability compared to monofilament sutures. Its braided construction ensures excellent knot security and resistance to breakage during surgical procedures.

The suture is coated with a highly adherent, nonreactive polymer that serves as a lubricant, significantly improving handling characteristics. This coating reduces tissue drag and facilitates smoother passage through tissues, minimizing trauma during suturing. The coated surface enhances the suture’s pliability and flexibility, allowing for precise manipulation and knot tying.

The green coloration improves suture visibility against various tissue types, aiding surgeons in accurate placement and inspection during and after surgery. The taper point needle design allows for atraumatic penetration of tissues, decreasing trauma and supporting better healing outcomes.
