Ethicon ETHILON Undyed Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture 689G

This ETHILON™ Undyed Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 689G, is designed for fine soft tissue approximation where minimal tissue reaction and high cosmetic precision are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.

The USP 6-0 size is ideal for delicate skin closure and cosmetic procedures requiring refined wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length allows controlled handling in superficial and precision-focused surgical environments.

689G is supplied single-armed with one P-1 Prime cutting needle measuring approximately 11 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 performance.

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