Ethicon 593 2-0 Ethilon Nylon Stre PS-2 19mm 3/8c Reverse Cutting, 18 inch (x)

Key Features and benefts:

✅ Construction out of high strength monofilament nylon

Ethilon sutures are fabricated from polyamide 6 (nylon) monofilament which gives superb durability and the tensile strength to put up with possible fatigue forces and breaks. It has also been generously accepted that there is smooth movement in both directions around tissue and there are even lesser chances of infection due to bacterial drag and siphoning through single stranding.

✅ Long term wound support without absorbtion

Unline Ethilon, absorbable sutures degredate over some time. This makes Ethilon suitable for skin closures, microsurgical procedures, and approximate suturing of superficial tissue as these require Ethilon’s long term support.

✅ PS-2 Reverse Cutting Needle (19mm, 3/8 Circle)

This suture is mounted on a PS-2 reverse cutting needle which is 19mm long with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting design has a sharp edge on the outer curve, allowing for more effective suturing on more difficult tissues such as skin, fascia, and tendon repairs. The handle is designed to minimize trauma while ensuring effective and secure closure.

✅ Optimal for Skin Closure and Cosmetic Applications

The Ethilon PS2 suture features smooth nylon which enables effortless knot tying and removal, leaving minimal scarring while promoting excellent cosmetic outcomes. This was made possible due to the 2-0 suture size which provided just the right amount of strength and flexibility.

✅ Minimal Tissue Reaction for Patient Comfort

Designed specifically to reduce tissue irritation and inflammation, Ethilon sutures allow for better healing while reducing complications, post-operatively. These sutures are particularly beneficial for delicate surgical procedures.

✅ Application Versatility in a Variety of Medical Fields

General Surgery: Closure of skin and soft tissues approximations.

Plastic Surgery And Dermatology: Cosmetic closure of wounds and facial suturing.

Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Repair of tendons and ligaments.

Veterinary Medicine: Closing of skin and soft tissues for both small and big animals.
