Nylus – Monofilament Polyamide Suture offers smooth passage through tissue because of low frictional co-efficiency and excellent elasticity. Its knot pull strength and needle swage strength are greater than USP limits. In addition, it has superior cutting needles which are excellent for use in plastic surgery. Nylus is ideal for use in skin closures.
