Polyamide / Nylon Sutures

Polyamide Nylon Suture - ORLON is non absorbable, sterile surgical monofilament suture composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6, 6. This Suture is dyed black / blue or green to enhance visibility in tissue It is mostly used in ophthalmic and neurological procedures

• Type : Monofilament
• Material : Extrusion of polyamide 6.0 or 6.6
• Color : Black / Green
• Tissue reaction :Minimal
• Absorption :Non absorbable, gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. The thread mass Diminishes, approximately 10% a year by rupture of chemical links (hydrolytic action).
• Tensile Strength :Excellent tensile strength, Excellent knot tying, Minimum tissue reaction
• USP Range :10/0-2
• Sterilization :EO (Ethylene Oxide)
• Needle Type : Round bodied, cutting edge, taper point, straight, blunt point
• Packing : In aluminium foil packages/ Medical Grade ETO Pouches with or without needle

Characteristics Of Polyamide / Nylon Sutures:

• High tensile strength, non absorbable
  
• Synthetic
  
• Monofilament with microscopic uniform diameter
  
• Pliability and softness
  
• Hermetically sealed packing

Benefits Of Polyamide / Nylon Sutures:

• Excellent and permanent tissue support
  
• Minimal tissue reaction
  
• Soft passage through the tissues without sawing, tissue drag and trauma. Absence of capillarity (no support of bacterial growth)Excellent knot tie down
  
• Good handling properties Easy and secure knotting
  
• Guaranteed seal and product sterility

Indicatuions Of Polyamide / Nylon Sutures:

General soft tissue closing and/or ligation

• Blue :- especially in Skin closure, General surgery, Plastic surgery, Gastrointestinal surgery, Gynaecology Obstetrics, Orthopaedics
• Black :- especially in Plastic surgery, Ophthalmic surgery
