This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Suture, product code W558BG, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where long strand length, dependable tensile strength and consistent handling are required.

Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament (Polyamide 6), ETHILON™ offers minimal tissue reactivity and reduced tissue drag, ensuring smooth passage through tissue and reliable knot security across a wide range of surgical procedures.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides balanced strength for general soft tissue and skin closure. The extended 40 inch (100 cm) strand length supports longer closure lines and enhanced flexibility during suturing.

W558BG is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one LR-60 Conventional Cutting needle, engineered for precise penetration of tougher tissues such as skin. The conventional cutting profile facilitates controlled entry and accurate wound edge approximation.

Sterile and single-use, this product is supplied in a box of 12 sutures, suitable for hospital and theatre environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure performance.
