Description

ETHIBOND EXCEL™ Suture, Size 3/0, 36", Green, with RB-1 needle is a nonabsorbable braided surgical suture made from high-molecular-weight polyester fibers. It is coated with polybutilate, a nonreactive compound that enhances lubricity, handling, and knot security. The suture is designed for long-term soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended tensile strength is required.

The braided structure allows for superior pliability and reduced memory, improving ease of use during surgical procedures. The polybutilate coating reduces tissue drag, minimizes fraying, and facilitates smooth passage through tissue. These handling characteristics are optimized for consistent knot tying and secure wound closure.

The RB-1 needle is a taper point, 1/2 circle needle, specifically designed for soft tissue penetration without cutting. It offers controlled, atraumatic access through delicate or soft tissues such as those encountered in gastrointestinal, urologic, and subcutaneous applications. The needle and suture combination ensures accurate placement with minimal tissue trauma.
