Ethicon ETHILON black USP 4-0 45cm Reverse cutting 19mm 3/8C (662G)

ETHILON black USP 4-0 is a monofilament, non-absorbable surgical suture manufactured from nylon (polyamide), a synthetic polymer known for its high tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and predictable handling characteristics. As a non-absorbable suture, ETHILON is intended to provide long-term or permanent wound support, making it suitable for veterinary procedures where prolonged tissue approximation or delayed healing is anticipated. The monofilament structure enables smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and minimal capillarity, helping to reduce fluid wicking and support clean wound healing.

The black colour provides high contrast against tissue, improving intraoperative visibility and aiding accurate suture placement, particularly in skin closure. Supplied at a length of 45cm, this USP 4-0 suture is well suited to fine veterinary skin and superficial soft tissue closure where precision is required. The 19mm 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle features a cutting edge on the outer curvature, allowing controlled penetration through skin while reducing the risk of tissue cut-out. This needle profile supports clean wound edges, accurate placement, and reliable closure outcomes in veterinary surgery.
