This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W2808, is designed for delicate tissue approximation where ultra-fine precision and minimal tissue trauma are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, very low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.

The USP 8-0 size is suitable for ophthalmic, plastic and microvascular procedures requiring refined wound edge alignment. The short 5 inch (13 cm) strand length allows precise control within confined microsurgical fields.

W2808 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one BV130-5 taper point needle measuring approximately 5 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The fine taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports controlled microsurgical closure.

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 fine wound closure.
