Nylus® Monofilament Polyamide, Non-Absorbable Sutures
Nylus® non-absorbable sutures are designed to provide smooth and reliable performance for skin closure procedures, with a low coefficient of friction that enables easy passage through tissue. Its excellent elasticity supports controlled handling, while knot-pull strength and needle-swage strength exceeding USP limits provide added confidence during suturing. Nylus® is paired with superior cutting needles suited to precise tissue penetration, making it an excellent choice for plastic surgery applications. It is packed using Tyvek paper for enhanced protection and security.
Low-friction tissue passage, excellent elasticity and high knot-pull and needle-swage strength support smooth, secure and reliable skin closure.
Superior cutting needles and protective Tyvek packaging make Nylus® particularly well suited to plastic surgery and skin closure procedures.
Nylus® Product Specification
| Composition | Nylon |
| Construction | Monofilament |
| Coating | None |
| In Vitro Retention of Strength | Although polyamide is non-absorbable, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of tensile strength over time because of its lack of adherence to tissue |
| Tissue Reaction | Nylus® suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction inthe tissue, followed by gradual ancapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue |
| Absorption Time | Non-Absorbable |
| Sterilisation | 100% Ethylene Oxide |
| Available in Sizes | 11-0, 10-0, 9-0, 8-0, 7-0, 6-0, 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0, 1 and 2 |
| Colour | Black and blue |
| Shelf Life | 5 Years |
| Packaging | Box of 12, 24 and 36 sutures |
Distinctive Features
- Easy passage through tissue becasue of low frictional co-efficient
- Excellent elasticity
- Knot pull strength and needle swage strength greater than USP limits
- Packed using Tyvek paper for extra security
