| Composition: |  | Nylon | 
		
			| Construction: |  | Monofilament | 
		
			| Coating  |  | None | 
		
			| In vitro retention of strength: |  | Nylus is non-absorbable. However, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of up to 20% in its tensile strength each year. | 
		
			| Tissue Reaction: |  | Nylus suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction in the tissue, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. | 
		
			| Absorption Time: |  | Non-absorbable | 
		
			| Sterilization: |  | 100% Ethylene Oxide | 
		
			| Available in Sizes: |  | 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0 | 
		
			| Colour: |  | Black | 
		
			| Packaging: |  | Box of 12 sutures |

			| Distinctive Features: |  | - Easy passage through tissue because of low frictional co-efficient. | 
		
			|  |  | - Excellent elasticity. | 
		
			|  |  | - Knot pull strength and needle swage strength greater than USP limits. | 
		
			|  |  | - Packed using Tyvek paper for extra security. | 
		
			|  |  | - Superior cutting needles which are excellent for use in plastic surgery. | 
		
			|  |  | - Ideal for use in skin closures. |
