This ETHILON™ Clear (Undyed) Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 690G, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where minimal visibility, refined handling and dependable tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term wound support.

The USP 5-0 size offers fine tensile performance suitable for delicate skin closure and cosmetic procedures requiring careful wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling in outpatient and hospital surgical environments.

690G is supplied single-armed with one P-3 Prime cutting needle measuring approximately 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The cutting needle configuration enables precise penetration through skin and firm tissue, while Prime needle technology supports sustained sharpness and consistent procedural performance.
