Dolphin Sutures Linex - Monofilament Nylon Suture
Linex is the brand name of nylon sutures manufactured by Dolphin Sutures. Nylon sutures are also known as polyamide sutures. Nylon sutures are monofilament sutures and are remarkably smooth, soft and gives excellent knot security.
Nylon sutures are non-absorbable sutures and possess excellent tensile strength. Nylon sutures are available in black colour. Nylon sutures have excellent knot security properties and can be easily removed with no tissue adherence. These sutures are infection resistant.
Nylon sutures are widely used for general closure, skin and plastic surgery. They are usually not recommended for attachment of artificial prostheses in cardiovascular surgery. They also do not support infection and maintain tensile strength indefinitely in tissues.
Nylon sutures are available in black colour.
