Ethilon™ Sutures Size 5-0 | 18” | P-3 | 3/8 Circle Undyed

ETHILON® sutures are high-quality, non-absorbable surgical sutures made from monofilament nylon (polyamide polymer). They are designed to provide exceptional wound closure strength and precision, making them suitable for a wide range of surgical applications. The size 5-0 suture is specifically tailored for delicate procedures requiring fine suturing techniques.

Key Features

• Material: Made from monofilament nylon, ETHILON® sutures offer superior tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. The monofilament design ensures smooth passage through tissue and reduces the risk of infection.
• Size: 5-0 (USP) - This fine size is ideal for precise suturing in delicate tissues, including plastic surgery, ophthalmic procedures, and microvascular surgery.
• Length: 18 inches - This length provides adequate material for various suturing techniques and allows for ease of handling during procedures.
• Needle: P-3, 3/8 Circle - The P-3 needle is a precision-crafted, reverse cutting needle that ensures accurate and secure suturing. Its 3/8 circle design offers optimal maneuverability and control, making it suitable for intricate surgical tasks.

Indications

ETHILON® sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. They are especially beneficial in situations where extended wound support is required, as they do not absorb or degrade over time.

Benefits

• Biocompatibility: The nylon material is biocompatible, minimizing the risk of adverse tissue reactions.
• Handling: ETHILON® sutures are easy to handle, tie, and knot securely, even in wet conditions, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the wound closure.
• Versatility: Suitable for a variety of surgical applications, ETHILON® sutures provide reliable performance in both superficial and deep tissue procedures.
• Sterilization: These sutures are sterilized to ensure safety and are packaged in a convenient, sterile pack for immediate use.
