This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1866G, is designed for fine soft tissue approximation where precision, minimal tissue trauma and dependable tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term wound support.

The USP 6-0 size is ideal for delicate skin closure, facial procedures and cosmetic applications requiring refined wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length allows controlled handling in superficial and precision-focused surgical environments.

1866G is supplied single-armed with one PC-3 Prime cutting needle measuring 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The cutting needle configuration enables accurate penetration through skin and firm tissue, while Prime needle technology supports sustained sharpness and consistent performance during fine suturing procedures.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital, cosmetic and specialist surgical settings requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
