LINEX - MONOFILAMENT NYLON SUTURE

Linex is the brand name of nylon sutures manufactured by Dolphin Sutures. Nylon sutures are also known as polyamide sutures. Nylon sutures are monofilament sutures and are remarkably smooth, soft and gives excellent knot security.

Nylon sutures are non-absorbable sutures and possess excellent tensile strength. Nylon sutures are available in black colour. Nylon sutures have excellent knot security properties and can be easily removed with no tissue adherence. These sutures are infection resistant.

Nylon sutures are widely used for general closure, skin and plastic surgery. They are usually not recommended for attachment of artificial prostheses in cardiovascular surgery. They also do not support infection and maintain tensile strength indefinitely in tissues.

Nylon sutures are available in black colour.

Features
- Nylon suture is a monofilament non-absorbable surgical suture.
- Nylon sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 10-0. Suture is available in black colour.
- Nylon sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homo polymer of polyamide grade 6.6.
- Nylon sutures are ideal for skin closures since they do not exhibit tissue adherence.
Advantages
- LINEX sutures pass through tissues easily and since the suture is monofilament knotting is very easy. The tissue adherence to the suture is absolutely nil.
- LINEX sutures have excellent knot security and it has easy knot placement.
- LINEX sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
- LINEX sutures have excellent tensile strength and the sutures do not elongate while knotting.
