Synthetic monofilament thread obtained from the extrusion of polyamide pellets. It is inert, non-capillary, and has a smooth surface. Due to its strength, even with very thin diameters, nylon thread is especially suitable for very fine sutures in microsurgery and ophthalmology. The thread is pigmented black or blue with harmless dyes.

Nylon is a non-absorbable, surgical suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers, like polyamide nylon 6 and polyamide nylon 6.6. The suture is available undyed or dyed blue or black with harmless dyes.

Type of Absorption

Non-absorbable

Color

Blue or black

Structure

Monofilament

Gauge

10/0 to 1

Sterilization

Ethylene oxide

Health Registration Number

DM0131N

Presentation

Thread combinations with and without surgical steel needle.
Multipack in predetermined lengths.
Available in boxes of 12, 24, and 36 units.

Indications

Nylon suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue suturing or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological tissues.

Warnings
  • For single use only. DO NOT RESTERILIZE.
  • Discard remaining strands.
  • Do not rub the strand with a surgical glove or with gauze.
Precautions

In handling suture materials, care should be taken to avoid damage from handling. Avoid crushing or crimping damage due to application of surgical instruments such as forceps or needle holders. Adequate knot security requires the accepted surgical techniques.

The use of additional throws may be particularly appropriate when knotting monofilaments.
