Key Features & Benefits

• PC–3 Multipass Conventional Cutting Needle: 3/8 circle, 16 mm needle with a refined tip geometry that improves control and penetration through tough or dense tissue.
• Non-absorbable Monofilament: Made from Nylon 6, this black suture maintains long-term tensile strength while gradually losing around 15–20% strength per year due to hydrolysis.
• Low Tissue Reactivity: Encapsulated slowly by fibrous connective tissue, ideal for procedures where low inflammation is critical.
• Reliable Wound Support: Suitable for long-term wound closure, especially where tissue approximation must remain secure without permanent suture retention.
• Versatile Clinical Use: Commonly used in skin closure, nerve repair, dura mater, tendon, fascia, and various ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.
• Box of 12: Packaged for convenience and clinical efficiency.

Ethilon™ sutures are a dependable option for delicate surgical procedures where precision and minimal tissue reaction are essential. Their proven design helps support optimal wound healing and surgical outcomes.
