This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Suture, product code W1612BH, is designed for precise soft tissue and skin approximation where smooth tissue passage, secure knot performance and long-term tensile strength retention are essential.

Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament (Polyamide 6), ETHILON™ provides minimal tissue reactivity and reduced tissue drag, ensuring consistent handling and dependable wound support across a broad range of surgical procedures.

The USP 4-0 diameter offers controlled tensile strength for delicate tissue closure. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length provides optimal manoeuvrability for routine and refined suturing techniques.

W1612BH is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one P-1 PRIME needle, engineered for precise penetration and controlled tissue approximation. This configuration supports accurate wound edge alignment in both general and specialist surgical environments.

Sterile and single-use, this product is supplied in a box of 36 sutures, making it suitable for higher-volume theatre settings requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure performance.
