Q. How long do nylon sutures last in the body?

Answer

Nonabsorbable sutures may either be permanently in place or disintegrate in a very glacial fashion, depending on the material that they are constructed of. They maintain their vigour for at least three hundred days. They may be constructed of synthetic materials like nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyester, or they can be made of natural fibres. Such long-lasting sutures are used at the conclusion of an operation to keep together fibrous internal tissues. This is done because fibrous internal tissues do not get a significant amount of blood flow and take a very long time to recover completely. In deep tissues, nonabsorbable sutures are employed, and they are kept there permanently.
