Monofilament Polyamide Suture (UNILON)

Unilon is a non-absorbable sterile synthetic monofilament surgical suture commonly know as polyamide or Nylon suture. Unilon is composed of long chain aliphatic polymers made from 100% homo polymer of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. Nylon suture is dyed black or blue to enhance the visibility in tissue.

These sutures are infection resistant. Polyamide 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.

Monofilament polyamide sutures is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, ligation including use in ophthalmic, plastic, neurological surgeries and micro procedures. Unilon 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.
