This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W1757, is engineered for ultra-fine tissue approximation in highly delicate ophthalmic and microvascular procedures where precision and minimal tissue trauma are paramount.

Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament (Polyamide 6), ETHILON™ delivers exceptionally smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength retention. The monofilament construction reduces tissue drag while supporting refined handling and secure knot performance in confined microsurgical environments.

The USP 10-0 diameter is specifically indicated for extremely fine wound closure. The 12 inch (30 cm) strand length provides optimal reach and controlled manoeuvrability during symmetrical microsurgical techniques.

W1757 is supplied double-armed (D/A) with two TG160-6 taper point needles in a 3/8 circle curvature configuration. The taper point profile enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports balanced wound edge approximation.

Sterile and single-use, this product is supplied in a box of 12 sutures for specialist hospital and microsurgical settings requiring dependable non-absorbable micro-closure performance.
