Description

ETHILON™ Nylon Sutures by Ethicon are expertly crafted for reliable performance in a wide range of surgical applications. These non-absorbable, monofilament sutures are composed of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6, providing exceptional tensile strength and flexibility. Their smooth surface design minimizes tissue trauma, ensuring precise and gentle handling during procedures.

Versatile Surgical Applications

ETHILON™ sutures are suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, making them ideal for use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological, plastic, dermatological, and general surgeries. The availability of various suture sizes, from 11-0 to 3-0, and lengths ranging from 2 to 12 inches, allows for tailored solutions to meet specific surgical needs.

Enhanced Visibility Options

These sutures are available in dyed options—black, green, and blue—or undyed (clear), enhancing visibility according to surgical requirements. The wide array of needle types and configurations, including Taper Point, Tapercut, and Cutting Edge variants, offers comprehensive choices for surgeons. Needle curvatures such as 1/8 Circle to 5/8 Circle, along with lengths from 3mm to 254mm, further expand the customization possibilities.

Secure and Reliable Performance

ETHILON™ sutures are renowned for their easy handling and knot security, providing surgeons with confidence in closure integrity. Each suture is supplied sterile, with packaging typically containing 12 sutures per box. Proper handling and storage are crucial, as opened packages should be discarded and resterilization is not advised.

Important Considerations

While ETHILON™ sutures are highly versatile, they are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to nylon. Potential adverse reactions may include wound dehiscence, allergic responses, and infection, necessitating careful consideration and monitoring.

Commitment to Quality

As a product under the "Wound Closure" category, ETHILON™ Nylon Sutures embody Ethicon's commitment to quality and innovation in surgical solutions, supporting healthcare professionals in achieving optimal patient outcomes.
