This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W1765, is designed for delicate soft tissue approximation where fine tensile strength and precise needle control are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term wound support.

The USP 8-0 size is intended for ophthalmic, plastic and microvascular procedures requiring refined wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling in precision-focused surgical environments.

W1765 is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one G-7 Prime cutting needle measuring approximately 8 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The cutting needle configuration enables accurate penetration through delicate tissue, while Prime needle technology supports sustained sharpness and consistent procedural performance.

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