This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code EH7957BH, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where balanced 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 4-0 size delivers reliable tensile performance suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue procedures requiring accurate wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling across outpatient and hospital surgical environments.

EH7957BH is supplied single-armed with one PS-1 Prime reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 24 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through. Prime needle technology supports sustained sharpness and consistent procedural performance.

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 wound closure.
