Nylon (Monofilament)
DESCRIPTION
-
Structure: monofilament
-
Color: blue, black
-
Chemical composition: polyamide 6 - 6.6
-
Sterilization: ethylene oxide
non-basorbable sterile synthetic monofilament surgical sutures made from polyamide 6 and/or 6,6. RTmED® Nylon meets all the requirements set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for non-absorbable surgical sutures.
Nylon surgical sutures are known for their high strength, good biocompatibility and minimal tissue reaction. The monofilament structure further provides antibacterial properties.
CHARACTERISTICS
The needles used with RTmED® Nylon are made of high quality Japanese stainless steel. The non-destructive suture needle produced by drilling technology realizes the integration of needle and thread, which makes the suture needle and thread penetrate smoothly with minimal damage. It is suitable for eye surgery, orthopedic surgery, skin suture, etc.
RTmED® nylon surgical sutures are suitable for use in ophthalmic surgery, orthopedic surgery, and for placing external sutures.
-
High tensile strength
-
Excellent and permanent tissue support
-
Smooth tissue passage
-
Easy and secure knotting
INDICATIONS
Nylon sutures are indicated for use in general surgery. It is suitable for use in soft tissue and for ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, and neurological tissues (peripheral nerves) as well cardiovascular and plastic and reconstructive surgery. Nylon Sutures should not be used when extensive and permanent retention of tensile strengt is required, such as Cardiac surgery (e.g. artificial heart valves) neurosurgery (central neural system).
