NYLON – Polyamide Non-Absorbable Suture

NYLON is a non-absorbable synthetic monofilament made from polyamide (Polyamide 6 / 6-6), one of the most versatile and widely used materials in surgery. It combines high tensile strength with low memory and a smooth, uniform surface for an atraumatic pass and secure knots, making it a dependable all-rounder for general veterinary closure.

Key benefits

• High tensile strength with long-lasting support (non-absorbable)
• Easy handling, flexibility and easy execution of the knot, with excellent knot-tying security
• Low thread memory for easy handling
• Smooth, uniform monofilament for atraumatic passage and excellent sliding through tissue

Performance

• Tensile strength: non-absorbable; through its gradual hydrolytic process it may slowly lose some tensile strength over time
• Material: polyamide 6 / polyamide 6-6 monofilament, uncoated
• Colour: blue · Sterilisation: ethylene oxide · Shelf life: 5 years

Indications

Approximation and/or ligation of soft tissue, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, plastic, orthopaedic and microsurgery, and suturing of neural tissue.
