Description

Ethibond Excel Suture, CTX, Size 0, Green, 8" x 18" is a nonabsorbable braided polyester suture designed for surgical use. It is composed of high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyesters that provide strength and durability required for wound closure. The suture’s braided construction enhances its handling characteristics, offering flexibility and ease of knot tying.

The suture features a taper point needle that facilitates smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma. The needle’s design supports precise placement, reducing tissue damage and promoting optimal healing. This makes the Ethibond Excel suitable for various surgical applications requiring reliable and secure tissue approximation.

Ethibond Excel sutures are coated with a highly adherent, nonreactive compound that functions as a lubricant. This coating improves the suture’s mechanical properties by reducing friction during passage through tissue, resulting in improved handling and knot security compared to uncoated braided fibers. The coating also minimizes tissue reaction, enhancing biocompatibility.
