Ethicon 1674H 2-0 ETHILON BLACK 1X30" FSLX Box of 36

Ethicon ETHILON® Nylon 2-0 Suture | 1674H | 30" Black | 36mm FSLX | BX/36

The Ethicon 1674H is a high-tensile, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered for robust primary closure in demanding clinical environments. Composed of Polyamide 6 (Nylon), the ETHILON® series is the global gold standard for skin and fascia repair. This Size 2-0 configuration is specifically designed for high-stress anatomical sites—such as the torso, hip, or deep fascia—where maximum mechanical support and resistance to "cheese-wiring" are required.

Unique to the 1674H is the extra-long 30-inch (75 cm) strand paired with the FSLX (Fascia Suture Large X-tra) needle. This combination provides the reach and needle "bite" necessary for continuous suturing techniques and the closure of deep, multi-layered incisions.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• FSLX (36mm) Needle Geometry: The FSLX is one of Ethicon's largest skin/fascia needles. Its 36mm length and reinforced body allow for deep, wide "bites" through thick dermis and tough fascia, ensuring a secure and everted wound edge in high-tension areas.

• Infection-Resistant Monofilament: The single-strand construction lacks the "wicking" properties of braided materials. By eliminating capillarity, ETHILON® significantly reduces the risk of bacteria being drawn into the wound track, promoting a cleaner healing environment.

• Extended 30" Strand: The 75cm length is ideal for running (continuous) sutures, allowing the surgeon to close long incisions without the need to switch out needles mid-layer, thereby reducing operative time.

• Elastic Memory: Nylon 6 possesses inherent "stretch and recovery" characteristics. It accommodates postoperative edema (swelling) by stretching slightly, then returns to its original tension as swelling subsides, preventing the suture from cutting into the tissue.

• Atraumatic Reverse Cutting: The reverse cutting edge is positioned on the outer curve of the needle. This geometry prevents the needle from cutting through the tissue toward the wound edge, providing a more stable and reliable anchor.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: New – Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: This item is securely contained within its original, undamaged manufacturer's packaging. Both the 36 individual sterile foils and the outer "H-box" are intact, ensuring absolute sterility and clinical performance.

• Knot Security: Due to the smooth surface and inherent memory of 2-0 monofilament, it is recommended to use 5 to 6 throws (square knots) to ensure maximum security in high-mobility areas.

• Expertise: With over 25 years of experience in surgical and wound closure supplies, Primis Medical verifies that all Ethicon stock is rigorously inspected for expiration viability and seal integrity.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in reinforced packaging to protect the 36mm FSLX needles and ensure the sterile seals remain uncompromised during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
