Surgical sutures and their components are critical to the success of surgical procedures. Among the various types of sutures, sterile surgical sutures are essential to minimize the risk of infection and ensure optimal healing. Among them, sterile non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon sutures and silk threads, are widely used in various surgical procedures. These sutures are designed to provide long-lasting support to tissues, making them an indispensable adjunct material in both routine and complex surgeries.
Nylon sutures are derived from the synthetic polyamide nylon 6-6.6 and are available in a variety of constructions, including monofilament, multifilament braided, and sheathed twisted core wires. The versatility of nylon sutures is reflected in their USP series, which range from size 9 to size 12/0, making them suitable for use in nearly all operating rooms. In addition, nylon sutures are available in a variety of colors, including undyed, black, blue, and fluorescent colors for veterinary use. This adaptability makes nylon sutures the surgeon's first choice for a variety of procedures.
On the other hand, silk sutures are characterized by their multifilament structure, which is braided and twisted. This design enhances the strength and flexibility of the suture, making it suitable for delicate tissues that require precise handling. The inherent properties of silk sutures enable them to achieve excellent knot security and tissue conformability, which further promotes their widespread use in surgical procedures.
