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 high-tension soft tissue procedures. This configuration includes two 20 inch (50 cm) strands per pack, providing flexibility and extended working length for demanding surgical applications.
W2797 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one KP-3 conventional cutting needle and includes a retention tube for controlled handling and safe storage. The conventional cutting configuration supports effective penetration through tougher tissue, while maintaining procedural precision.
