This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1665G, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where fine calibre suturing and minimal tissue trauma are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.

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

1665G is supplied single-armed with one PS-3 Prime reverse cutting needle measuring 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances controlled penetration through skin while reducing the risk of cut-through. Prime needle technology ensures sustained sharpness and consistent performance during fine suturing.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital, surgical and specialist outpatient environments requiring dependable, non-absorbable precision closure.
