Ethicon ETHILON Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture 698H

This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 698H, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where refined tensile strength and controlled needle penetration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.

The USP 5-0 size delivers fine tensile performance suitable for skin closure and delicate soft tissue procedures requiring accurate wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling across outpatient and hospital surgical environments.

698H is supplied single-armed with one P-3 Prime cutting needle measuring approximately 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The cutting needle configuration enables precise penetration through skin and firm tissue, while Prime needle technology supports sustained sharpness and consistent procedural performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36 sutures, this product is intended for professional clinical and specialist surgical settings requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
