Frequently asked questions

Does this suture minimize tissue irritation during healing?

Yes, the Ethilon Nylon Suture is specifically engineered for tissue-friendly performance. It is designed to provoke a minimal acute inflammatory response, which helps promote more effective and comfortable healing for the patient.

Is the material durable for long-term wound support?

Absolutely. As a nonabsorbable monofilament, this suture is designed for long-term integrity. It undergoes extremely slow degradation, allowing it to maintain its structural strength within the body for 1 to 2 years.

Will the suture remain visible against surgical tissue?

Yes, visibility is a key feature. To ensure you can clearly see the suture against tissue during procedures, it is available in dyed black or green, providing high contrast for precise placement.

Is the stainless steel needle reliable for controlled placement?

Yes, the suture includes a 60 mm straight reverse cutting needle made of high-quality stainless steel. This design is chosen specifically for its durability and its ability to provide controlled, accurate placement during surgical applications.

Does the monofilament design reduce tissue trauma?

Yes, the monofilament construction is composed of a long polymer chain that offers consistent tension and is specifically engineered to cause minimal tissue trauma compared to braided alternatives.

How many strands are included in the clinical pack?

Each unit is supplied as a 36-strand configuration. This ensures you have a reliable and sufficient supply of high-quality sutures for your various clinical needs.

Is this suture suitable for general surgical use?

Yes, it is an ideal choice for general surgical wound closure. It is specifically intended for professional clinical environments where high tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction are required.

Is the suture provided in a sterile condition?

Yes, the product is supplied as sterile and arrives in professional, clinical-grade packaging designed to maintain its integrity until the moment of use.

Does the needle come attached to every strand?

Yes, each of the 36 strands in the pack comes with its own 1-needle configuration, ensuring that each suture is ready for immediate surgical use.

Does the uncoated design affect the suture's performance?

The uncoated monofilament design is purposeful; it ensures that the suture remains smooth and stable within the tissue, preventing potential drag or added reaction often associated with coating materials, while maintaining its impressive tensile strength.
