Ethicon ETHILON Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture 1669H

This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1669H, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where dependable tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and reliable long-term wound support.

The USP 3-0 size offers increased tensile strength suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation requiring firm support. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length allows controlled handling across a broad range of surgical procedures.

1669H is supplied single-armed with one PS-2 Prime reverse cutting needle measuring 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances controlled penetration through skin while helping reduce the risk of tissue cut-through. Prime needle technology ensures sustained sharpness and dependable performance throughout the procedure.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital and outpatient clinical environments requiring secure, non-absorbable skin closure.
