Nylon suture thread

What is Nylon Suture?

Nylon suture is a non-absorbable suture made from synthetic materials that offers excellent tensile strength. Nylon surgical suture is available in a variety of colors, including black and blue.

Nylon sutures have properties such as excellent knot security and are easily removed without tissue adhesion. These surgical sutures are also resistant to infection.

Surgical sutures are generally divided into two categories: absorbable and non-absorbable. Absorbable surgical sutures are sutures that lose their strength within 60 days of further use. The most common absorbable surgical sutures include chromic (catgut), polydioxanone (PDS), polyglactin 910, and polyglycolic acid (PGA).

Non-absorbable surgical sutures are not absorbed by the body; therefore, they must be removed by a physician. Some of the most common nonabsorbable surgical sutures include polyester, silk, and nylon. Soft tissue reactions to nonabsorbable surgical sutures are generally milder than absorbable sutures.

These sutures may be coated or uncoated, multifilament or monofilament to increase their translucency. They may be undyed or produced in a variety of colors to provide surgeons with better visibility.

Nylon surgical sutures are widely used for general suturing, skin, and plastic surgery. They are not usually recommended for implanting prosthetic devices in cardiovascular surgery. This type of suture also does not prevent infection and does not maintain tensile strength indefinitely in tissues. Nylon surgical sutures are ideal for skin closure because they have very low tissue adhesion.

Nylon Suture Price

The price of nylon sutures in the market can depend on many factors. Currently, this suture thread is available in two types of nylon surgical threads, reverse cut and round braided, and in sizes 0 to 6 in the Iranian medical supplies market, depending on the cross-section and type of needle.

An important point about the price of nylon suture thread is that factors such as the type of thread and its size do not affect its price, and they all have the same price and are produced in packages of 36.

Supa Nylon Suture Thread

Supa is one of the largest and most well-known Iranian companies producing medical products. This Iranian company produces and markets many medical supplies. One of the products of this company is nylon surgical thread.

Supa Nylon Suture Thread is a surgical thread produced from high-quality synthetic materials that is very popular among surgeons. Supa Nylon Suture Thread offers many advantages. This surgical thread offers excellent strength along with high knot security.

This surgical thread does not cause infection in the tissue and is removed by the doctor after healing. Supa surgical thread is sterilized using ethylene oxide gas and is marketed in green packaging with a special needle. The length of these surgical threads is 75 cm and is produced in different colors.

Supa suture thread is produced in two types, round body and reverse cut, depending on the type of needle cross-section.

The round body type is used for needles with a circular cross-section, and the reverse cut type is used for cross-sections that are in the form of an inverted triangle.

Types of Nylon Suture Threads

Nylon threads have a single-strand structure and cause the least reaction in the tissue. These non-absorbable surgical threads have high tensile strength, making them suitable for long-term tissue closure. Nylon threads are produced and marketed in different colors for better visibility by the surgeon.

Nylon sutures have a variety of attached needles, including curved and straight needles, with several different lengths and needle shapes. These sutures are intended for long-term use of more than 30 days.

Nylon has very high strength and durability, which distinguishes it from other materials. One of the special features of nylon is that it can maintain its strength well for years. Some wounds are located in parts of the body that undergo a lot of movement and stress. These surgical sutures are very suitable for closing skin wounds, heart, brain, artery and bladder surgeries.

Nylon Cut Suture

Surgical sutures are also classified based on the type of needle used. Nylon Cut Suture or Reverse Cut Nylon Surgical Suture is a type of surgical suture used for very specific operations.

The needle of this surgical suture has a ⅜ circular curvature with a length of 16 mm. Nylon cut suture is a non-absorbable suture made of synthetic material that is removed by the doctor after complete healing. The needles of these surgical sutures are made of stainless steel coated with silicone.
