Q. What is a nylon suture?

Answer

Sutures made of nylon, which are non-absorbable monofilament threads, are most often used for skin closure. It hydrolyzes to antimicrobial compounds, has great flexibility, and low capillarity, all of which contribute to its usefulness in polluted tissues. It has poor handling features, poor knot security, and significant memory. Nevertheless, it has a substantial memory.
