This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W511H, is designed for fine soft tissue approximation where reliable tensile strength and controlled needle penetration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.

The USP 6-0 size is suitable for delicate skin closure and cosmetic procedures requiring precise wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling in both outpatient and hospital surgical environments.

W511H is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one FS-3 conventional reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The conventional reverse cutting configuration enhances controlled penetration through skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge approximation.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional clinical and specialist surgical settings requiring dependable non-absorbable fine wound closure.
