This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W2871, 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 9-0 size is intended for ophthalmic and microvascular procedures requiring highly delicate wound closure. The short 5 inch (13 cm) strand length allows precise control within confined microsurgical fields.

W2871 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one BV75-3 taper point needle measuring approximately 3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The ultra-fine taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports meticulous 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.
