Description
ETHIBOND EXCEL™ VISI-BLACK suture material provides excellent visibility in the surgical field thanks to its black needle coating, which stands out clearly against tissue and blood. This supports precise control in procedures requiring high accuracy, even under challenging conditions. The braided, non-absorbable polyester structure is coated with polybutyrate, ensuring smooth tissue passage and comfortable handling. The surface design helps reduce tissue trauma while enabling controlled guidance and secure knotting. Its excellent knot glide and reliable knot security support efficient and safe wound closure, even in complex surgical workflows. The One-step RELAY Zipper packaging system allows fast and safe access to the suture material, reducing handling steps and helping to lower the risk of needlestick injuries in the operating theatre. ETHIBOND EXCEL™ VISI-BLACK is suitable for cardiac, vascular, neurosurgical and ophthalmic procedures, as well as other demanding applications. Its high tensile strength, long-term durability in tissue and minimal tissue reaction make it a dependable choice for surgical wound closure in daily clinical practice.
