Overview
  • Nylon monofilament sutures
  • Handle and tie better than other synthetics because they are sterilized exclusively with ETO (other synthetics are commonly gamma-radiated, making them stiffer and more difficult to handle)
  • These cable type sutures are unique in that they are made of many fine inner nylon fibers, which are enclosed in a smooth nylon outer shell
  • Feel smooth like monofilament sutures, but tie better with fewer knots and stay tied even with short tag ends
  • Exceed the USP diameter and tensile strength requirements for nonabsorbable sutures
