NYLON is a monofilament extruded thread made from polyamide. Because of its high tensile strength, even when the fibre diameter is very fine, NYLON is particularly suitable for very fine suturing in microsurgery. Polyamides can bind up to 10% water.

An synthetic suture made of precision braided filaments of polyglycolic acid. Calcium stearate & polycaprolactone coating enables suture to slide through soft tissue with minimal friction and suture itself is very soft ant supple. After only seven days PGA resoquick™ has al­ready lost 50% of its original break­ing load. After 14 days all original breaking load is lost completely. Absorption of PGA resoquick™ is approximately completed after 42 days.
