Description

The Ethilon Mono Black 2-0 18 FS Suture is a high-performance nonabsorbable monofilament suture designed for specialized surgical applications. Constructed from a long polymer chain, Ethilon suture offers exceptional strength and durability, making it suitable for a range of procedures where long-term tissue support is necessary.

The suture is dyed black to enhance visibility during surgical procedures, allowing for precise placement and alignment. This color-coding facilitates easier identification against tissue and surrounding structures, contributing to improved surgical accuracy. The Ethilon suture's minimal acute inflammatory response ensures a smoother integration into the tissue, reducing the likelihood of adverse reactions.

Ethilon sutures exhibit extremely slow encapsulation and degradation, with a timeline extending from 1 to 2 years. This extended retention period is advantageous for surgeries requiring prolonged support and stability. The suture maintains its tensile strength throughout this period, providing consistent performance over time.

The suture is equipped with a reverse cutting needle, which offers a sharp cutting edge that efficiently penetrates tissue with minimal resistance. This feature enhances the overall efficacy of the suture, making it a reliable choice for a variety of surgical procedures.
