Ethicon ETHILON black USP 3-0 45cm Reverse cutting 26mm 3/8C (W320BG)

ETHILON™ Black USP 3-0 (W320BG) is manufactured from polyamide (nylon), a synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament material known for its high initial tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and smooth passage through tissue. The monofilament construction reduces drag and limits bacterial harbourage, supporting clean wound healing and consistent closure.

As a non-absorbable suture, ETHILON™ is ideal where durable wound support is required or where planned suture removal is part of post-operative care. The USP 3-0 size provides a practical balance of strength and handling for routine skin closure in veterinary and medical settings.

The black coloration enhances visibility against tissue, aiding accurate placement and knot management. Supplied with a 26 mm reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin closure, delivering precise penetration with reduced risk of tissue cut-out compared to conventional cutting needles.

Individually sterile packed, ETHILON™ W320BG delivers consistent, trusted performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for dependable veterinary and medical wound closure.
