Non-absorbable sutures from Ethicon

Ethicon offers a wide range of non-absorbable sutures for various surgical needs. At SuturerOnline, you’ll find Ethilon, Ethibond, Prolene, Mersilene, silk, steel sutures, and Pronova in multiple sizes and needle combinations.

Ethilon is a polyamide monofilament, while Prolene is made of polypropylene. Pronova is a soft and flexible monofilament based on PVDF. Ethibond is a braided and coated polyester suture, while Mersilene is primarily a braided, uncoated polyester suture. The product line also includes braided natural silk with good handling properties, as well as steel sutures for applications requiring very high and durable strength.

The choice of suture should be tailored to the tissue type, desired handling characteristics, the need for long-term support, and the specific suturing technique.
