Ethicon ETHILON Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 2-0 18 in (45 cm) Black FS Reverse Cutting Needle 26 mm 3/8 Circle 664H (Box of 36)
This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 664H, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where increased tensile strength and dependable needle penetration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and reliable long-term wound support.
The USP 2-0 size delivers strong tensile performance suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue procedures requiring firm, durable approximation. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling across hospital and outpatient surgical environments.
664H is supplied single-armed with one FS reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 26 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through tougher tissue such as skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge alignment.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional clinical and hospital settings requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
