Ethicon ETHILON black USP 3-0 45cm Reverse Cutting Prime 26mm 3/8C (W1625BH)

ETHILON™ Black USP 3-0 (W1625BH) is manufactured from polyamide (nylon), a synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament material valued for its high initial tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and smooth passage through tissue. The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag and limits bacterial harbourage, supporting clean healing and predictable wound approximation.

As a non-absorbable suture, ETHILON™ is well suited to procedures where durable support is required or where planned suture removal is indicated. The USP 3-0 size provides an effective balance of strength and handling for routine skin closure across a wide range of veterinary and medical applications.

The black coloration enhances visibility against tissue, aiding accurate placement and knot management. Supplied with a 26 mm Reverse Cutting Prime needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin closure, offering controlled penetration with a reduced risk of tissue cut-out compared with conventional cutting needles. The 45 cm strand length is ideal for standard closure runs and efficient handling.

Individually sterile packed, ETHILON™ W1625BH delivers consistent, trusted performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for reliable veterinary and medical wound closure.
