Nylon Non-Absorbable Monofilament Sutures

Reliable Wound Support. Smooth Tissue Passage. Proven Performance.

Vero Animal Health Nylon Sutures are synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed specifically for veterinary surgical applications. Nylon provides dependable wound support, smooth tissue passage, and low tissue reactivity, making it a versatile choice for a broad range of soft-tissue and skin-closure procedures.

The smooth monofilament construction helps minimize tissue drag and capillarity while facilitating controlled passage through tissue. Nylon provides excellent initial tensile strength, dependable handling characteristics, and reliable knot performance when appropriate surgical technique is used.

Its combination of strength, smooth handling, and low tissue reactivity makes Vero Animal Health Nylon an excellent choice for veterinary procedures where non-absorbable wound support is appropriate.

Features & benefits

• Synthetic Non-Absorbable Monofilament — Provides dependable wound support for a broad range of veterinary procedures.

• Smooth Tissue Passage — Monofilament construction helps minimize tissue drag and trauma during placement.
• Low Tissue Reactivity — Designed to support normal tissue healing with minimal inflammatory response.
• Reliable Knot Performance — Provides dependable closure when appropriate knotting technique is used.
• Low Capillarity — Monofilament construction helps minimize fluid wicking compared with braided materials.
• Controlled Handling — Smooth, uniform construction facilitates precise suture placement.
• Veterinary Focused — Suitable for a broad range of companion-animal and veterinary surgical procedures.

Veterinary Applications

Vero Animal Health Nylon Sutures may be used for soft-tissue approximation and closure in veterinary procedures where a non-absorbable monofilament suture is appropriate.

Typical applications may include:

• Skin closure
• Cutaneous wound closure
• General soft-tissue approximation
• Selected ophthalmic procedures
• Selected neurological procedures
• External wound closure
• Other veterinary procedures where non-absorbable wound support is appropriate

Selection of the appropriate suture size, needle configuration, and surgical technique should be based on the species, tissue type, wound characteristics, anticipated healing requirements, and professional judgment of the veterinary practitioner.

Contraindications

Nylon sutures may not be appropriate in applications where an absorbable suture is specifically required or where permanent retention of maximum tensile strength is necessary.

Use may be inappropriate in:

• Procedures where absorbable suture material is preferred
• Applications requiring indefinite maintenance of original tensile strength
• Animals with known hypersensitivity to nylon or associated components
• Procedures where long-term implanted foreign material is undesirable
• Procedures outside the indications specified in the approved product labeling or Instructions for Use

The veterinary professional should consider the expected healing rate of the tissue, condition of the surgical site, wound tension, and duration of support required before selecting nylon suture material.
