Description

The ETHILON™ Monofilament Suture, Black, Size 10/0, 12", CS140-8 Needle is a nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers, specifically nylon. The suture's monofilament structure ensures smooth passage through tissue with minimal resistance and reduced tissue trauma.

This suture is characterized by minimal tissue reactivity and provokes only a slight acute inflammatory response upon implantation. The biological inertness of nylon contributes to long-term stability within tissue, making it suitable for prolonged use in areas where extended wound support is necessary.

Equipped with a CS140-8 spatula needle, this configuration is ideal for ophthalmic and microsurgical applications. The spatula needle design allows for precise planar dissection through thin, layered tissue such as the cornea or sclera, minimizing disruption to surrounding structures.
