SUTURE NYLON – 2/0 – 25mm – RC 3/8 – 45cm – STERILE

Description

A NYLON suture are synthetic, non-absorbable, monofilament suture used in medical practice. Applied in the skin, tendons, ligaments, muscle sheaths, linea alba and subcutaneously. The sutures are produced in a monofilament construction, dyed with Copper Phthalocyanine Blue, in various lengths, diameters and with surgical needles attached. Nylon sutures meet all the requirements of the European Pharmacopeia for non-absorbable surgical sutures.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• A non-absorbable sterile suture composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymer Nylon 6.
• Nylon is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
• Used most often for skin suturing in medical science
• Minimal acute inflammatory reaction in the tissue, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
• Progressive hydrolysis of the Nylon in vivo may result in gradual loss of up to 20% of its tensile strength per year.
