Non-Absorbable Nylon for Lasting Support

ETHILON® sutures are made from polyamide 6,6 nylon, a non-absorbable material that provides lasting tissue support. The ultra-fine 7-0 size allows for highly precise suture placement in delicate tissue.

P-6 Prime Reverse Cutting Needle for Precise Tissue Penetration

This configuration features a P-6 prime reverse cutting needle (8 mm) from Ethicon's P series of precision point needles, designed for delicate plastic and cosmetic surgery. With the cutting edge positioned on the outer curvature of the needle, the reverse cutting design penetrates skin cleanly while reducing the risk of the suture tearing through the tissue. The very small needle size supports exceptionally fine, controlled bites for meticulous closures.

High Visibility for Accurate Placement and Removal

The black colour stands out clearly against skin, supporting accurate placement during closure and easy identification at the time of suture removal.

Clinical Applications

• Fine skin closure in thin and delicate skin
• Closures in cosmetically sensitive areas
• Plastic and reconstructive procedures
• Minor surgical and dermatologic procedures
• Closures where a non-absorbable suture is preferred
