This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code U7000, is designed for highly delicate tissue approximation where ultra-fine precision and minimal tissue trauma are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, very low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile support.

The USP 10-0 size is intended for ophthalmic, vascular and microvascular procedures requiring extremely fine wound approximation. The 12 inch (30 cm) strand length allows precise handling in controlled microsurgical environments.

U7000 is supplied double-armed (D/A) with two CS160-6 taper point needles, each measuring approximately 6.5 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue, supporting accurate bilateral or symmetrical microsurgical closure.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for specialist hospital and microsurgical settings requiring ultra-fine non-absorbable wound closure.
