Frequently asked questions
Why is this suture black?
The suture is dyed black specifically to provide high contrast and maximum visibility against various tissue types, which helps surgeons maintain precision during procedures.
Is this suture safe for long-term wound support?
Yes, Ethilon is a monofilament nylon suture engineered for durability. It features very slow degradation, typically remaining intact for 1 to 2 years, making it an excellent choice for cases requiring prolonged tensile support.
Does the monofilament design help reduce infection risk?
Yes. Because the suture is a monofilament, it does not harbor microorganisms in the way braided materials might, which helps promote cleaner healing and minimizes the risk of inflammatory complications.
What kind of needle is included?
This suture comes with a P-3, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This 13 mm stainless steel needle is designed for smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
Is this suture suitable for delicate procedures?
With a 4-0 size and a precision reverse cutting needle, this suture is balanced for applications where controlled, smooth passage through tissue is required while maintaining durable wound support.
Is the material reactive to tissue?
No, this suture is designed for minimal tissue reactivity. Its long-chain synthetic polymer composition minimizes acute inflammatory responses, supporting better long-term outcomes.
How many sutures are in a box?
Each box contains 12 strands of sutures, each individually sealed in sterile, labeled pouches.
Is this product coated?
No, this Ethilon suture is uncoated. Its smooth monofilament surface is engineered to pass through tissue with minimal resistance even without a coating.
What is the total length of each suture?
Each suture strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length.
Is the needle made of stainless steel?
Yes, it features a stainless steel P-3 needle, chosen for its strength and precision cutting performance.
