Nylon is a twisted non-absorbable synthetic twisted suture material.
Nylon twisted from modified polyamide is made.
The twisted nylon thread has high strength and elasticity, it is reliably knitted with a surgical knot. The threads have a relatively low inertia and high tensile strength, causing a moderate tissue reaction.
Inferior to braided capron in terms of handling properties, it is used as a “budget” option.
White color.
Thread size: 1.5
Packing: coil
Thread length: 450m
Twisted kapron does not dissolve, but has a loss of thread strength during its stay in tissues, up to 10% within 1-1.5 years, over time it is encapsulated by connective tissue.
Sterilization: gas method - ethylene oxide (EO)
