This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1667SLH, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where reliable tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and dependable long-term wound support.
The USP 4-0 size offers balanced tensile strength suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling across a wide range of surgical applications.
1667SLH is supplied single-armed with one PS-2S Prime reverse cutting needle measuring 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The slim reverse cutting configuration supports controlled penetration through skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through. Prime needle technology ensures sustained sharpness and reliable procedural performance.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital, surgical and outpatient clinical environments requiring secure, non-absorbable skin closure.
