DemeTech's Nylon Sutures (Multifilament)

DemeTech's Nylon suture is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of the long chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. DemeTech's Nylon Multifilament sutures are available in either black or blue, dyed with FDA listed dye(s). DemeTech's Nylon Multifilament sutures elicit minimal inflammatory reaction in tissue. This process is usually followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. While DemeTech's Nylon Multifilament is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of up to 20% in its tensile strength each year. DemeTech's Nylon sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.

Distinctive Characteristics of DemeTech's Nylon Multifilament Sutures:

Composed of tightly braided filaments.

Easy passage through tissues due to its low frictional coefficient.

Minimal tissue reactivity.

Coated to improve handling.

Excellent elasticity.

Exceptional for skin closures.

Small USP sizes are designed specifically for microsurgical and ophthalmic procedures.
