This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W2797, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where high tensile strength and extended strand configuration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.

The USP 1 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for fascia closure and high-tension soft tissue procedures. This configuration includes two 20 inch (50 cm) strands per pack, providing flexibility and extended working length for demanding surgical applications.

W2797 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one KP-3 conventional cutting needle and includes a retention tube for controlled handling and safe storage. The conventional cutting configuration supports effective penetration through tougher tissue, while maintaining procedural precision.

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