This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1666H, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where reliable tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON offers smooth tissue passage, low drag and dependable long-term wound support.

The USP 5-0 size provides fine calibre strength ideal for skin closure, cosmetic procedures and delicate soft tissue approximation. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling and flexibility across a wide range of surgical settings.

1666H is supplied single-armed with one PS-2 Prime reverse cutting needle measuring 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting design enhances penetration through skin while reducing the risk of tissue cut-through. Prime needle technology ensures sustained sharpness and consistent performance throughout the procedure.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital, surgical and outpatient clinical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable skin closure.
