Ultra-Fine Non-Absorbable Support

ETHILON® nylon sutures provide consistent long-term tensile strength while allowing for precise wound edge approximation. The monofilament design minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of bacterial adherence, making it suitable for highly delicate procedures.

Spatulated Reverse Cutting Needles for Microsurgery

This configuration features TG140-6 spatulated reverse cutting needles (6.5 mm), designed specifically for ophthalmic and microsurgical applications. The spatulated profile allows for controlled passage through thin tissue layers, reducing trauma while maintaining precision.

Double-Armed Configuration for Precision Control

The double-armed design allows for symmetrical suturing and enhanced control in fine surgical fields. This is particularly beneficial in microsurgical techniques where balanced tension and exact placement are critical.

Clinical Applications

• Ophthalmic surgery
• Microvascular procedures
• Plastic and reconstructive microsurgery
• Delicate tissue approximation
• Specialized surgical applications requiring ultra-fine sutures

Why Choose ETHILON® Nylon Sutures

ETHILON® sutures are a trusted standard for precision wound closure. The 10-0 configuration with TG140-6 double-armed needles delivers exceptional control and minimal tissue disruption, making it ideal for the most delicate surgical procedures.
