Monofilament Polyamide Suture (UNILON)

Non-Absorbable surgical Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)

Monofilament Polyamide Suture is a non-absorbable sterile synthetic surgical suture commonly know as polyamide. This Nylon Suture is composed of long chain aliphatic polymers made from 100% homo polymer of Nylon 6 and 6.6. It is dyed black or blue to enhance the visibility in tissue. These sutures are infection resistant. Polyamide Nylon sutures elicit minimal tissue reaction and do not cause tissue rupture. In house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.

INDICATIONS

Monofilament polyamide Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, ligation including use in ophthalmic, plastic, neurological surgeries and micro procedures. UNISON is neither absorbed nor subjected to weakening by tissue enzymes, non-adhering and biologically inert. It is ideal for skin closure.

Properties: Good knot security, excellent tensile strength, do not exhibit elasticity while knotting which is ideal for skin closures, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma.

Question: What is Polyamide Suture?

Answer: Polyamide Suture, commonly known as Nylon Suture, is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament suture. It is made from Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 and is available in black or blue for better visibility.

Question: What procedures commonly use Polyamide Suture?

Answer: It is widely used for skin closure, general soft-tissue approximation and ligation. It may also be used in ophthalmic, plastic, neurological and microsurgical procedures based on the surgeon’s requirements.

Question: What are the main benefits of Polyamide Suture?

Answer: Polyamide Suture provides good tensile strength, dependable knot security and smooth tissue passage. Its monofilament structure also supports low tissue reaction and makes it useful for clean skin closure.

Question: Does Polyamide Suture dissolve in the body?

Answer: No. Polyamide is classified as a non-absorbable suture and is not broken down by tissue enzymes. It may be used for long-term support or removed later, depending on the surgical site and closure method.

Question: In which sizes and configurations is Polyamide Suture available?

Answer: It is available in USP sizes from 10-0 to 2, with multiple strand lengths and needle combinations. Universal Sutures can provide round-bodied, cutting, reverse-cutting, taper-point, straight and spatula needles according to the application.
