Characteristics DemeTech’s Nylon suture is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of the long chain aliphatic polymer Nylon 6.6. This process is usually followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. - Composed of tightly braided filaments. - Easy passage through tissues due to its low frictional coefficient. - Minimal tissue reactivity - Coated to improve handling. - Excellent elasticity - Exceptional for skin closures.
