This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W1769, is designed for ultra-fine tissue approximation where exceptional precision and minimal tissue trauma are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides extremely smooth tissue passage, very low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.

The USP 9-0 size is intended for ophthalmic and microvascular procedures requiring highly delicate wound closure. The 12 inch (30 cm) strand length allows precise control within confined microsurgical fields.

W1769 is supplied double-armed (D/A) with two TG140-6 taper point needles, each measuring approximately 6 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports balanced, symmetrical microsurgical approximation.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for specialist hospital and microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable micro-closure performance.
