Ethicon sutures 697G 6-0 Ethilon Black 1x18" P-1 BX/12

Ethicon sutures 697G 6-0 Ethilon Black 1x18" P-1 BX/12

The Ethicon 697G is a high-precision, non-absorbable monofilament suture composed of Polyamide 6 (Nylon). Ethilon™ is the global clinical standard for cutaneous (skin) closure due to its remarkable tensile strength and exceptionally low tissue reactivity. The 6-0 gauge provides an ultra-fine diameter, making it the primary choice for high-detail anatomical areas—such as the face, eyelids, and fingers—where minimizing suture tracks and maximizing cosmetic outcomes are the primary objectives.

Technical specifications

Additional product details

• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Suture Size: 6-0 (Micro-Fine Gauge)
• Strand Length: 18 Inches (45 cm)
• Color: Black (High Contrast)
• Needle Name: P-1 (Plastic Surgery)
• Needle Technology: MULTI-PASS™ (Advanced Sharpness Retention)
• Needle Length: 11 mm
• Needle Shape: 3/8 Circle
• Point Type: Prime Reverse Cutting
• Quantity: Box of 12 Individual Foil Packets
• MULTI-PASS™ Sharpness Retention: The P-1 needle is engineered with a proprietary coating that reduces penetration force. In a training or research environment, this allows for extensive continuous suturing practice without the needle dulling—a critical feature for mastering micro-precise cosmetic closures.
• Non-Absorbable Monofilament Security: Nylon 6 is inherently resistant to infection. Its smooth, non-porous surface provides no interstices for bacterial colonization, making it an ideal model for teaching sterile wound management and long-term material stability.
• Prime Reverse Cutting Geometry: The cutting edge is located on the outer curvature of the needle.
• High-Contrast Visibility: The deep black color of the 6-0 monofilament provides a sharp visual reference against light-colored synthetic skin or anatomical tissues, facilitating fast and accurate placement during recorded simulations.
• Surgical Education: Mastering fine-detail facial closures, blepharoplasty (eyelid) simulations, and pediatric reconstructive patterns.
• Veterinary Training: Use in non-clinical anatomical studies and micro-surgical skills development for small animal models.
• Biomechanical Research: Studying the effects of micro-suture tension on superficial tissue layers in controlled laboratory environments.
• Status: NEW — Original Packaging. Individual foil packets remain hermetically sealed and untampered with.
