Ethicon ETHILON black USP 3-0 75cm Reverse Cutting Prime 26mm 3/8C (W1685BH)

ETHILON™ Black USP 3-0 (W1685BH) is manufactured from polyamide (nylon), a synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament material recognised for its high initial tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and smooth tissue passage. The monofilament construction reduces tissue drag and limits bacterial harbourage, supporting clean wound healing and consistent closure performance.

As a non-absorbable suture, ETHILON™ is ideal where durable wound support is required or where planned suture removal forms part of post-operative management. The USP 3-0 size provides a reliable balance of strength and control for routine skin closure across a wide range of veterinary and medical applications.

The black suture colour 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, delivering precise penetration with a reduced risk of tissue cut-out compared with conventional cutting needles. The 75 cm strand length offers added reach and flexibility for larger surgical fields or extended closure runs.

Individually sterile packed, ETHILON™ W1685BH delivers trusted, consistent performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for reliable veterinary and medical wound closure.
