Composition: Nylon
Construction: Monofilament
Coating: None
In vitro retention of strength: Nylus is non-absorbable. However, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of up to 20% in its tensile strength each year.
Tissue Reaction: Nylus suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction in the tissue, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue
Absorption Time: Non-absorbable
Sterilization: 100% Ethylene Oxide
