The Ethicon 1669H Ethilon Nylon Suture is a non-absorbable, black monofilament suture, size 3-0, designed for precise and durable tissue closure. The 18-inch length makes it optimal for delicate procedures where shorter sutures are required. Made from nylon, this monofilament suture offers minimal tissue reaction and high tensile strength, ensuring reliable, long-lasting wound support. The PS-2 (Precision Point) needle is a reverse-cutting needle, specifically designed for easy penetration through tough or delicate tissues, while minimizing trauma. The smooth nylon surface of the suture allows for easy passage through tissue, reducing the risk of infection or irritation.
