Frequently asked questions
Does this suture minimize tissue reaction?
Yes, Ethilon is specifically formulated to induce minimal acute inflammatory response. This design helps support better healing and improved patient outcomes during the recovery process.
Is the suture easy to see during surgery?
Absolutely. The suture is dyed black, which provides superior contrast and visibility against tissue, allowing surgeons to track the strand easily throughout the entire closure process.
How long does the suture maintain its strength?
Ethilon is composed of a long polymer chain that ensures extremely slow degradation. It is designed to maintain strength for 1 to 2 years, making it an excellent choice for wounds that require long-term support.
Does the monofilament design reduce trauma?
Yes, because it is a monofilament, the suture provides a very smooth surface. This allows the strand to glide through tissue with minimal resistance, significantly reducing the risk of trauma during application.
Is the needle effective for tissue penetration?
The FSLX stainless steel needle features a 3/8 circle reverse cutting design. This specific geometry is precision-engineered to offer the sharpness and control necessary for efficient and effective tissue penetration.
Is this suture sterile and ready for use?
Yes, each unit is supplied sterile. It is manufactured to clinical standards and arrives in a professional dispensing box designed for quick identification in high-pressure surgical environments.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each suture strand in this pack measures 30 inches (75 cm) in length, providing ample material for standard surgical closure procedures.
Is this a coated or uncoated suture?
This specific Ethilon suture is uncoated. The smooth monofilament surface is engineered to pass through tissue cleanly without the need for additional coatings.
Is this product durable for demanding applications?
Yes, Ethilon is a high-quality, nonabsorbable suture crafted from premium nylon. Its construction is focused on high tensile strength and durability to ensure reliable wound closure over an extended period.
How many sutures are included in a pack?
This configuration is a 36-strand pack, ensuring you have an adequate supply of reliable, high-performance sutures for your clinical needs.
