Frequently asked questions
Does this suture cause significant tissue reaction?
No, the Ethilon suture is specifically engineered to provoke minimal acute inflammatory response, which helps promote better healing at the closure site.
Is the suture easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the suture is dyed black, which provides superior visibility against tissue, making it easier for surgeons to maintain a clear visual reference during complex procedures.
How long will this suture maintain its integrity?
As a nonabsorbable material, it is designed for long-term stability. It undergoes extremely slow encapsulation and degradation, typically lasting 1 to 2 years.
