SUTURE NYLON 6/0 13MM MICRO NEEDLE BX 36

Non-absorbable monofilament and uncoated suture made of polyamide

Description

Dafilon® is a non-absorbable synthetic monofilament suture made of polymers polyamide 6/6.6 (dyed blue), polyamide 6.6 (dyed black) or polyamide 6 (undyed). Dafilon® blue and Dafilon® undyed are indicated for the closure of superficial wounds and plastic surgery. Dafilon® black is used for microsurgical and ophthalmic purposes.
As with any nylon suture, though not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the suture may result
in gradual loss of its tensile strength over time.
