Ethicon ETHILON Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W320BG

This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W320BG, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where dependable tensile strength and controlled needle penetration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and reliable long-term wound support.

The USP 3-0 size delivers firm tensile performance suitable for skin closure and general soft tissue procedures requiring accurate wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length ensures controlled handling across outpatient and hospital surgical environments.

W320BG is supplied single-armed with one FS reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 26 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through tougher tissue such as skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge approximation.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
