Sutures Ligatures 5 Synthetic non absorbables nylon polyproplene


Synthetic Nonabsorbables
Polyamide (Nylon): Monofilament
This is a single strand of polyamide supplied in sizes ranging from 0. 2 to 2 (10/0 to 2).
         The material can be obtained in multiple precut lengths, from 35 cm to 1 m.
         Polyamide as a single thread is inert and can be safely used in the presence of infection. It may be left in the tissues with very little reaction occurring.
         Monofilament examples of this material include Ethilon, blue (Ethicon); Surgidek, blue or black (Surgicraft); and Dermalon, white, blue or black (Davis and Geck).

  1. Surgical sutures are manufactured in different colors and in different sizes and the tensile strength of the thread differs depending upon the usage.
