ADVALON
ADVALON suture is non-absorbable, sterile surgical monofilament suture composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. ADVALON suture is dyed black to enhance visibility in tissue.
The advanced extrusion process of the nylon molecule gives ADVALON:
- ADVALON suture is a non-absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of the long chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6-6.6.
- ADVALON suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation and ophthalmic procedure.
- Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in-vivo, ADVALON suture should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required. ADVALON suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to Polyamide.
- ADVALON suture elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissues. Although polyamide is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the polyamide, In-vivo may result in gradual loss over time of tensile strength. ADVALON suture is effective as a pull-out suture due to its lack of adherence to tissue.
*Mass Absorption: Time in days required for suture to be totally absorbed in the body.
ADVALON suture complies with United States Pharmacopeia requirement for “Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture” and the European Pharmacopoeia for “Sutures, sterile non-absorbable”.
