This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code EB5133H, is designed for ultra-fine soft tissue approximation where exceptional precision and minimal tissue trauma are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, very low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.
The USP 7-0 (Metric 0.5) size is ideal for delicate skin closure and microsurgical procedures requiring refined wound edge alignment. The 30 cm strand length allows precise handling in controlled surgical environments.
EB5133H is supplied single-armed with one GS-8 taper point needle measuring approximately 6.5 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue, supporting controlled and accurate closure.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital, cosmetic and specialist microsurgical settings requiring dependable non-absorbable fine wound closure.
