The Endure EN46193-75 is a blue, 4-0 nylon monofilament suture provided in 75 cm length, packaged with a 19 mm reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle). As a non-absorbable suture, it is designed to offer enduring tensile strength, making it appropriate for skin closure, tendon approximation, or other surgical sites where permanent mechanical support is desired until suture removal or long-term stability of the tissue is assured.

Its reverse cutting needle has a cutting edge on the outer curvature, which helps stitch through denser or more fibrous tissues, such as the dermis, with greater ease and less trauma. The 19 mm length is moderate, enabling access in many surgical fields without being excessively long (which could increase handling difficulty). The 3/8 circle geometry is a common design that balances ease of penetration with control in curved path access.

Because it is a monofilament nylon, the suture offers lower tissue drag and minimal capillarity (reduced risk of wicking), which can help reduce infection risk compared to braided sutures. On the flip side, knot security in nylon can be a bit more challenging, so surgeons often use multiple throws or secure knot techniques. Overall, the EN46193-75 is well suited for clinical situations where non-absorbable closure is desired, visibility of blue color is beneficial, and a reverse cutting needle is advantageous in robust tissues.
