The ETHILON® Sutures Size 3-0 (ETH-1663H) are non-absorbable surgical sutures specifically designed to provide optimal performance in general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Manufactured by Ethicon, these sutures feature a 3-0 size for finer wound closure, a precision-cutting needle, and a high-strength nylon monofilament material for superior handling. The sutures offer surgeons the confidence of a secure, reliable closure, even in delicate tissue repair.
Key Features:
- Durable Nylon Monofilament: Made from high-quality non-absorbable nylon, ETHILON® sutures are engineered for durability and longevity. The smooth, single-strand monofilament construction minimizes tissue trauma and ensures effortless passage through tissue, promoting quicker, cleaner wound closures.
- Size 3-0 for Delicate Precision: The size 3-0 suture is ideal for fine or delicate soft tissue closures, commonly used in facial or cosmetic surgeries, subcutaneous tissue, or procedures requiring minimal scarring.
- 18" Length for Flexibility: With an 18-inch suture length, these sutures provide the flexibility and convenience required for smaller incisions and shorter wound closures. They are perfect for procedures that demand accuracy and minimal suture bulk.
- PS-1 Needle for Precision Cutting: The attached PS-1 needle is a precision-cutting needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed for easy penetration through tougher tissues such as skin. Its sharp, consistent cutting edge ensures clean suturing with minimal resistance, enhancing surgeon control.
- Non-Absorbable Material: ETHILON® sutures are non-absorbable, ensuring long-term wound support. This is especially important in areas where extended tissue healing is necessary or where the suture needs to provide prolonged stability.
- Black for Optimal Visibility: The black color of the suture material offers enhanced visibility during the procedure, particularly useful in low-light environments or for detailed work where contrast with tissue is needed.
