Ethicon Ethilon Suture 6-0 - NW3320 Pack of 12

Ethilon suture is composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 in a monofilament structure. This monofilament design provides smooth tissue passage that reduces trauma and irritation, while the nylon composition offers minimal tissue reaction, lowering infection risk and maintaining long-term wound support for permanent or extended tissue approximation.

Yes, Ethilon is a non-absorbable suture with high tensile strength, making it ideal for permanent or extended tissue approximation. It maintains long-term wound support and is particularly suited for skin closure, microsurgical procedures, and ophthalmic surgeries where durable, lasting closure is required.

The NW3320 is equipped with a P-3 precision reverse cutting needle measuring 11mm. This needle configuration is specifically designed for microsurgery, ophthalmic, plastic, and skin closure procedures, enabling precise tissue penetration and handling in delicate surgical applications.

Ethilon suture is dyed black to enhance visibility in tissue during surgical procedures. This improves the surgeon's ability to track suture placement and ensure accurate wound closure, particularly important in microsurgical and ophthalmic applications where precision is critical.

Yes, Ethilon suture is individually packed and sterilized, ensuring hygiene and safety for immediate use in the operating room. Each pack of 12 is suitable for high-volume surgical settings and requires no additional sterilization before use.

Ethilon's monofilament nylon structure provides excellent knot security and consistent, controlled handling for precision suturing. The smooth tissue passage eliminates unnecessary damage, and the secure knot formation minimizes the risk of slippage during and after wound closure.
