Ethicon ETHILON Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 2-0 30 in (75 cm) Black FS Reverse Cutting Needle 26 mm 3/8 Circle W1686BG (Box of 12)
This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W1686BG, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where strong tensile strength and extended strand length 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 substantial tensile performance suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue procedures requiring durable approximation. The extended 30 inch (75 cm) strand length offers increased working reach, making it ideal for longer suture lines and deeper operative fields.
W1686BG 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 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
