ETHILON SUTURES BLACK 3.0 30MM 3/8 CIRC FSL 75CM 36'S 1671H

Description

A nonabsorbable, sterile, surgical, monofilament suture composed of the long-chain, aliphatic polymers
Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. ETHILON suture is dyed black or green to enhance visibility in tissue.
It is also available undyed (clear).

ETHILON™ Nylon Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and ∕ or ligation, including
use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.

ETHILON Suture elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissue, which is followed by a gradual
encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. While nylon is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis
of the nylon in vivo may result in gradual loss of tensile strength over time.

Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in vivo, nylon suture
should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required.
