Ethicon ETHILON Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 1 60 in (150 cm) Black CT-1 Loop Taper Point Needle 48 mm 1/2 Circle W743 (Box of 12)
This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W743, is designed for high-tension soft tissue approximation where maximum tensile strength and loop configuration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.
The USP 1 size delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for fascia closure and demanding abdominal procedures. The extended 60 inch (150 cm) strand length offers increased working reach, making it particularly suitable for deeper operative fields and long suture lines.
W743 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one CT-1 loop taper point needle measuring approximately 48 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature. The loop configuration enables rapid closure techniques and balanced tissue approximation, while the taper point design supports controlled, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring strong, permanent non-absorbable tissue support.
