Nylon is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament thread made of polyamide 6.6. It is particularly
suited for micro-surgery because of its consistent tensile strength, smooth and even surface, and its
good knotting properties. Micro-needle thread combinations with nylon carry green framed labels.

Polypropylene is a synthetic non-resorbent monofilament thread with a smooth pore free surface.
When it comes to sewing, polypropylene slips neatly and evenly through muscle tissue.
As a result of it´s non-hydrolytic nature, polypropylene is particularly suitable for absorbent and
permanent stitches. Unlike nylon, polypropylene is not decomposable, this in turn guarantees
lasting firmness. Polypropylene remains innert in skin tissue and is dyed blue in the thread sizes
4/0 to 8/0 ( PH.EUR. ). The thread sizes 9/0 and 10/0 are dyed black allowing a better visibility in the
tissue. Micro-needle thread combinations with polypropylene carry dark blue framed labels.

Polyester is a braided multifilament, synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture material.
Polyester enabling to slip cleanly and evenly through tissue. Polyester is dyed white or green with
thread strengths 10/0 to 4/0 USP ( 0.2 to 1.5 metric )
Suture materials made of polyester have orange edged labels.

PVDF is a black non-absorbable monofilament thread made out of Polyvinyldinefluoride. The tissue
areas where PVDF is used are similar to those polypropylene, however PVDF provides a better and
tighter knotting process with fewer knots. As with polypropylene, PVDF may also be used for
implanting. Micro-needle thread combinations with PVDF carry dark grey framed labels.

Sternotomy suture material is a monofilament non-absorbable implantable surgical suture material
made of high-grade surgical Stainless steel ( AISI 316 LVM ) or Titanium wire.
Sternotomy sutures are available in different lengths and diameters and are armed with
single high-grade stainless steel needles of different types of points, lengths, and curves.
Stainless Steel and Titanium sutures have yellow-edged labels.

Silk is weaved out of the silk spider´s cocoon and is as a result a natural non-resorbent material.
Thanks to a special weaving technique it quarantees a strong non-tearable and an
evenly distributed structure. Micro-needle thread combinations with silk carry light blue framed labels.
