Ethicon Sutures Supplier in Nigeria
Vicryl, Monocryl, PDS II, Prolene, Ethilon and the complete wound-closure range
The lane
Ethicon, delivered to Lagos.
NOVOSIC ships the full Ethicon wound-closure catalogue to Nigeria — Coated Vicryl, Vicryl Rapide, Monocryl, PDS II, Prolene, and Ethilon — from the UAE to importers, teaching hospitals, and private surgical groups in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano.
Nigerian theatre lists are written around Ethicon codes, and the importer who can deliver the exact gauge-and-needle combination the surgeon asked for wins the repeat order. Send us your code list and we return a line-by-line quotation, consolidated with whatever else you source through Dubai.
Shipping to Nigeria
How this lane runs.
Suture freight out of Jebel Ali splits two ways for Nigeria. Carton-level and urgent orders fly direct to Murtala Muhammed International in eight hours, protecting dating on short-shelf-life absorbables. Pallet and container volumes sail CIF Apapa or CFR Tin Can Island in fourteen to twenty days — often via transshipment, which we build into the quoted transit rather than springing on you later — with every batch and expiry itemised on the packing list your clearing agent files.
- Sea / surface
- Apapa and Tin Can Island (Lagos); Lekki Deep Sea Port — typically 14–20 days
- Air
- Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos (LOS) — 8 hours (direct Dubai–Lagos freighter and belly capacity)
- Typical Incoterms on this lane
- CIF Lagos (Apapa) · CFR Tin Can Island · DAP Lagos · FOB Jebel Ali
- Regulatory context
- Medical devices imported into Nigeria require NAFDAC product registration, which the local importer holds. NOVOSIC backs that process with the manufacturer paperwork — IFUs, CE certificates, and batch records — that NAFDAC dossiers and hospital receiving teams call for.
What Nigeria orders
Demand on the Nigeria Ethicon suture lane.
Obstetric volume drives this lane: Nigerian maternity units pull Coated Vicryl 1 and 2-0 on heavy taper needles for caesarean closure and Vicryl Rapide 2-0 for perineal repair in quantities few other markets match. General-surgery theatres at the federal teaching hospitals — LUTH, UCH Ibadan, and their peers — add PDS II 1 for mass abdominal closure and Ethilon 3-0 for skin, while the Lagos and Abuja private sector specifies Monocryl 3-0 and 4-0 for cosmetic-grade subcuticular work and Prolene 6-0 for the growing vascular caseload. Distributors typically order across forty or more codes at once; we price the whole schedule, not just the fast movers.

Why NOVOSIC for Nigeria
One desk for the whole order.
All three Lagos gateways quoted
CIF Apapa, CFR Tin Can Island, or routing via Lekki Deep Sea Port — we quote the gateway that suits your clearing agent, with DAP Lagos where you want a single delivered figure.
Mixed-brand consolidation for NAFDAC importers
Sutures, staplers, energy consumables, and ward volumes on one commercial invoice, with batch and expiry listed line by line — the format Nigerian registration holders reconcile against.
Air when dating matters
High-value, expiry-dated lines fly direct Dubai–Lagos in eight hours, so reloads and energy-device consumables reach Lagos and Abuja theatres without burning shelf life in transit.
