Superior Needle Design:

The Reverse Cutting Needle 26 mm 3/8 Circle offers the best combination of tissue penetration and trauma-free cutting. Its sharp, reverse cutting edges help when suturing thick, dense, fibrous, or cutaneous tissue as it requires additional strength and performance. The precision blunt drag edges improve control of the needle and thus improve closure, making it ideal for skin, general, plastic and oral surgery.

Non-Absorbable Strength:

Due to being a non-absorbable monofilament, ETHILON sutures does not undergo degradation in tissue with time. This characteristic is ideal for skin closure, cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic procedures where ETHILON’s sustained tensile strength is critical. While ETHILON sutures retains strength over time, external post-operative applications can have the sutures removed, and internally can be left permanently to support enhance structure.

Smooth Handling and Knot Security:

Reduced tissue reactivity and smooth passage through the tissue with minimal trauma are aided by the monofilament construction, which also dermatology’s seamless surgical experience without snagging or fraying aids the effortless suture gliding. In addition, consistent perfornance ensures ease during the the knots tie-downs.

Wide Range of Applications

Orthopedics: Subcutaneous tissue and ligament repairs.
Veterinary Use: Animal surgeries.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Wound closure with a minimal reaction to dressings or procedures.

General Surgery: Soft tissue approximation.
Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery: Cosmetic skin closures and suturing.

Sterility and Packaging:

Ethicon individually packs each suture ensuring patient safety with lowered infection risk per sutre, though Ethicon is known for maintaining production consistency with needle sharpness and suture integrity for each packed unit.

Conclusion

The Ethicon 585 2-0 ETHILON Suture with PS Reverse Cutting Needle is an outstanding suture choice for global surgeons and skin closure procedures due to its strength retention, handling properties as well as overall suture precision. Whether utilized for skin closures or more complex tissue approximation, this suture provides consistency with every single stitch. Crafted to cope with the requirements of contemporary surgery, ETHILON excel’s in providing dependability, consistency and positive clinical outcomes throughout various settings.
