Description

Surgical Suture, Nylon Size 2-0, 30" Thread With 24 mm 3/8 Reverse Cut Black is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture composed of polyamide polymer (nylon). It is specifically designed for long-term tissue approximation in external and internal surgical procedures where permanent wound support or extended retention is required.

Nylon sutures exhibit high tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. The monofilament structure ensures smooth tissue passage with low friction, reducing the risk of trauma during insertion. Knot tying is secure and consistent due to the uniformity of the strand diameter. Nylon maintains adequate tensile strength over time, though slight gradual loss can occur due to hydrolysis.

The suture is colored black for enhanced visibility under operating lights, facilitating precise placement and easy identification postoperatively. The 30-inch thread length accommodates a wide range of closure needs, from superficial skin to deeper soft tissue layers. It is frequently used in skin closures, general surgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmic procedures.
