Description

The Suture, Ethilon Mono Black 5-0 18 P3 is a premium nonabsorbable monofilament suture designed for a wide range of surgical applications. Composed of a long polymer chain, Ethilon sutures are known for their durability and strength. The suture is dyed black to enhance visibility during procedures, making it easier for surgeons to place and secure stitches accurately.

Ethilon sutures are specifically engineered to minimize acute inflammatory responses in tissue. The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag and minimizes the risk of infection or irritation, making it ideal for delicate procedures where tissue reaction must be kept to a minimum. The suture exhibits extremely slow encapsulation and degradation rates, lasting between 1 to 2 years, which provides long-term support in areas where prolonged suture presence is beneficial.

With its reverse cutting needle, the Ethilon Mono Black 5-0 18 P3 is particularly well-suited for applications requiring precise cuts and minimal tissue trauma. This suture is commonly used in various surgical specialties, including ophthalmic, plastic, and general surgeries, where reliable, high-quality suturing materials are essential for successful outcomes.
