This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W1721, 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 10-0 size is intended for ophthalmic and microvascular procedures requiring highly delicate wound closure. The short 6 inch (15 cm) strand length allows precise control within confined microsurgical fields.

W1721 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one TG160-8 taper point needle measuring approximately 8 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports controlled 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.
