Description
ETHIBOND EXCEL™ suture material supports safe and efficient surgical workflows across a wide range of procedures. The braided polyester multifilament is coated with polybutylate, providing an especially smooth surface that allows controlled and gentle passage through tissue. This ensures secure knot holding and excellent knot sliding properties, helping to reduce handling time and support consistent surgical performance. Due to its minimal tissue reaction, surrounding tissue is well protected during healing. ETHIBOND EXCEL™ is non-absorbable and provides long-term wound stability, making it suitable for applications in cardiac, vascular, neurosurgical and ophthalmic procedures, as well as ligation techniques. Colour options such as white or green improve visibility and organisation in the operating theatre. The One-step RELAY Zipper packaging system enables fast and safe access to the suture material, helping to reduce handling steps and lower the risk of needlestick injuries. It also ensures the material is immediately ready for use, supporting efficient workflows in clinical environments. ETHIBOND EXCEL™ offers a reliable combination of strength, handling comfort and long-term st
