Ethibond Excel – non-absorbable braided polyester suture from Ethicon
Ethibond Excel from Ethicon is a synthetic, braided, and non-absorbable suture. Ethibond Excel from Ethicon is a synthetic, braided, non-absorbable suture made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The suture is designed for soft tissue closure and ligatures where permanent tissue support and sustained tensile strength are required.
Braided construction with a polybutylate coating

The braided construction gives Ethibond Excel good flexibility, handling properties, and knot security. A polybutylate coating reduces surface friction and facilitates the suture’s passage through tissue as well as the tightening of knots. The suture is available in green and white.
Reliable support for demanding suturing
Ethibond Excel is non-absorbable and designed to maintain its tensile strength within the tissue. It is used in several surgical fields, including tendon and ligament repairs as well as cardiovascular procedures. The product line includes multiple sizes, needle combinations, and versions with or without pledges.
