The Ethilon 7731G is a non-absorbable, sterile, monofilament nylon suture manufactured by Ethicon. It is composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers (nylon 6 and nylon 6,6) and is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. This particular model features a black monofilament suture, size 5-0, with a length of 18 inches (45 cm), and is double-armed with S-24 spatula needles (8.0 mm, 1/4 circle). The suture is uncoated and provides secure, reliable wound closure where permanent retention of tensile strength is not required.
