How It Works
ETHILON 1 Reversed Cutting works by allowing a healthcare professional to pass a needle attached to a nylon suture through tissue edges. The reversed cutting needle easily penetrates tough surfaces like skin. Once the needle passes through, the thread is used to bring the wound edges together and secure them with knots.
Over time, the body heals the wound while the suture keeps it stable. Since it is non-absorbable, it is usually removed once healing is sufficient.
Applications
ETHILON 1 Reversed Cutting is widely used in:
- General surgery (skin closure and soft tissue repair)
- Emergency wound stitching
- Dermatology procedures
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery
- Dental surgery (in some cases)
- Veterinary wound closure
It is especially suitable for procedures requiring strong and precise skin closure.
Safety and Maintenance
- Always use under trained medical supervision.
- Do not reuse; it is designed for single use only.
- Check sterile packaging before opening—do not use if damaged or expired.
- Dispose of used sutures in approved medical waste containers.
- Store in a clean, dry environment to maintain product integrity.
- Follow hospital or clinic infection control protocols during use.
- Proper handling ensures patient safety and reduces the risk of complications.
Conclusion
ETHILON 1 Reversed Cutting is a dependable surgical suture designed for precision, strength, and safety in wound closure. Its reverse cutting needle allows smooth penetration through tough tissue, while the durable nylon thread ensures reliable wound support throughout healing.
For healthcare professionals seeking a trusted, widely used non-absorbable suture, ETHILON 1 Reversed Cutting offers consistent performance and ease of use across multiple surgical applications
