Dafilon monofilament polyamide non-absorbable suture threads (Box of 36 units - Various sizes)

Dafilon® suture is a non-absorbable, monofilament synthetic surgical thread made of polyamide (6/6.6) , specifically designed to ensure smooth tissue passage, high biological compatibility, and maximum knot security . Ideal for applications in plastic surgery, dermatology, microsurgery, and highly demanding skin closures .

Strengths:

- Compatibility and biocompatibility: Excellent tissue tolerance with minimal inflammatory reaction.

- Smooth passage through tissues: Its smooth surface reduces trauma during suturing.

- High knot security: Reliable knot tension retention, with adequate tensile strength.

- Flexibility and manageability: Good balance between firmness and malleability, especially in USP sizes 2/0–6/0.

- Less tissue drag: Being monofilament, it generates less friction compared to multifilament sutures.

- Reduced risk of infection: The smooth structure minimizes bacterial adhesion compared to braided threads.

- Variety of gauges and needle-thread combinations: Available from USP 11/0 to USP 5 (metric) with multiple types of adapted needles.

- Available colors: Blue, black or colorless depending on the required presentation.

Technical characteristics:

- Guy Non-absorbable synthetic suture, polyamide (nylon) monofilament

- Chemical composition Polyamide 6 and/or polyamide 6.6

- Range of calibers From USP 11/0 (0.1 metric) to USP 5 (7 metric)

- Colors Blue, black or colorless (“undyed”)

- Compatible needles Wide variety: reverse, cutting, Dermaslide®, etc.

- Sterilization Ethylene oxide (for thin gauges) / gamma irradiation (for medium gauges)

- Strength retention Non-absorbable → maintains tension over time, although gradual degradation by hydrolysis may occur (like all nylon sutures)

- Main indications Skin closure, plastic surgery, microsurgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, soft tissue closures

- Structural advantage Less drag, better glisse, knot strength, smooth and soft surface

Recommended uses:

- Skin closure in dermal and aesthetic interventions.

- Microsurgery and ophthalmic surgery (especially in very fine calibers).

- Neurosurgery and delicate procedures where reliable non-absorbable sutures are required.

- Plastic surgery and reconstruction where aesthetics and minimal tissue reaction are critical.
