Ethilon Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Uncoated PC-1 13 mm is a meticulously designed wound closure device ideal for a variety of surgical procedures. Crafted from a long polymer chain of Polyamide 6, this monofilament suture offers exceptional durability and reliable nonabsorbability, making it a preferred choice for long-term wound support. The suture is intricately dyed either black or green, significantly enhancing visibility within tissue, and thus aiding precision in surgical practices. Combined with a PC-1 precision conventional cutting needle, it facilitates smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma. The suture's monofilament design is engineered to elicit a minimal acute inflammatory response, resulting in comfortable healing. Additionally, the Ethilon Suture demonstrates a slow encapsulation and degradation process lasting from 1 to 2 years, ensuring sustained wound closure.
