This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W729, is designed for high-tension soft tissue approximation where extended strand length and loop configuration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term tensile strength.

The USP 1 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for fascia closure and demanding soft tissue procedures. The extended 60 inch (150 cm) strand length offers increased working reach for deep or extensive operative fields.

W729 features a CTXD loop taper point needle measuring approximately 48 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature. The loop configuration enables rapid closure techniques and balanced tissue approximation, while the taper point design supports atraumatic penetration through soft tissue.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring strong, permanent non-absorbable tissue support.
