This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 669H, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where extended strand length and dependable tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and reliable long-term wound support.

The USP 3-0 size delivers firm tensile performance suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue procedures requiring consistent approximation. The extended 30 inch (75 cm) strand length offers increased working reach, making it particularly suitable for longer suture lines and deeper operative fields.

669H is supplied single-armed with one FS-1 reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 24 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through tougher tissue such as skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge alignment.

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