Nylon
- Monofilament, syntetic, non-absorbable suture, presented in black, blue or undyed.
- Obtained from extrusion of polyamide (6.0 and 6.6) eith a uniform cylindrical diameter.
- Tissue reaction is minimal.
- Nylon is a non absorbable material that with time becomes encapsulated by connective tissue.
- While polyamide is non absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the polyamide in vivo may result in gradual loss over time of tensile strength.
- Color code : Green.
- Normally used confronting tissue in Ophthalmic and Plastic Surgery.
