This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1865G, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where fine tensile strength and controlled needle penetration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON delivers smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.

The USP 5-0 size provides refined tensile strength suitable for skin closure and delicate soft tissue procedures. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling across a range of outpatient and hospital surgical environments.

1865G is supplied single-armed with one PC-3 Prime cutting needle measuring 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The cutting needle configuration enables accurate penetration through skin and firm tissue, while Prime needle technology supports sustained sharpness and consistent procedural performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional clinical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
