Technical & Clinical Advantages


Precision Point (PS) Technology: The PS-4 needle features a slimmer profile and a specialized honing process that ensures a sharper cutting edge. This allows for effortless tissue penetration and reduced "drag," which is essential for preventing tissue puckering in cosmetic closures.


Monofilament Smoothness: The single-strand nylon construction prevents bacterial "wicking" and provides an ultra-smooth surface for atraumatic passage through the dermis. This leads to reduced post-operative inflammation compared to braided alternatives.


Controlled Elasticity: Ethilon sutures offer a degree of "stretch and recovery," which allows the suture to accommodate early post-operative edema without strangulating the tissue margins.


Superior Handling: Despite being a monofilament, Ethicon’s proprietary treatment ensures the 1662G has excellent knot security and remains pliable out of the package, reducing the "memory" effect common in other nylon sutures.


High Contrast Visualization: The deep black color provides excellent visibility against skin and blood-rich surgical fields, facilitating precise stitch placement and easier removal.
