Description

Nylon Ethilon Suture, 4-0, Na, 18, Silk Black is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture made from high-quality nylon. It is designed for use in a variety of surgical procedures where long-term tissue support is required. The suture's monofilament structure reduces the risk of infection, as it minimizes the surface area for bacterial growth compared to braided sutures.

The suture is dyed black to enhance visibility during surgery, providing the surgeon with clear identification while working in deep or complex tissue layers. This visibility ensures precise placement and suturing, which is critical for optimal healing and surgical outcomes. Its smooth surface allows for easy passage through tissue, reducing tissue trauma and minimizing the inflammatory response.

Ethilon sutures exhibit minimal acute inflammatory response, making them ideal for sensitive or delicate tissues. The material's biocompatibility allows for the formation of a stable and reliable suture line, contributing to faster recovery times and reduced complications. The suture demonstrates extremely slow encapsulation and degradation over a period of 1 to 2 years, providing long-lasting support for healing tissues.
