Why Use Ethilon Nylon Sutures in Surgery?

Millions of lives have been saved over the years from basic medical sutures. Today, sutures have come a long way from the basic sewing needle and plant- or animal-based string.

Today, medical sutures can not only help a wound to heal faster, but also to heal better with less scarring, and even to prevent infections, or worse.

There are dozens of different types of medical sutures. One type that the surgeons in your department may be asking for you to order are the nylon sutures. It can help to expand your knowledge, which in turn helps your medical team and your patients too.

Who Makes Nylon Sutures?

There are about ten different manufacturers of nylon sutures. The more easily accessible type for hospitals to order in the UK are the Ethilon stitches. Ethilon is a sutures-material subsidiary company owned by the Johnson & Johnson healthcare product line company.

Ethilon makes different types of sutures, but the nylon type is commonly used for many minor and major types of exterior surgeries.

Is Ethilon Suture Absorbable?

If you’re wondering if the Ethilon suture material is absorbable, meaning that it eventually dissolves and disappears, so that the surgeon doesn’t need to remove them one to six weeks later, then no.

The Ethilon suture material is strong and stays in place. It does not biodegrade like other suture materials. For this reason, it’s not recommended for internal surgery. This type of suture material is treated for sterility, and is a monofilament type (one strand).

It is made from the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6. The sutures are sold in a green colour, or a black colour, to make the strands more visible against the skin. When the wound has fully healed up, the doctor or surgeon can see the green or black colour more easily for removal.

What Are the Benefits of Nylon Sutures?

Nylon sutures are commonly chosen by a doctor or surgeon because they are perfect for general closure of wounds caused by injuries, or smaller surgeries, such as to remove skin growths or cysts.

Since these sutures are non-absorbable, they repel microorganisms so the wound doesn’t become infected or have an inflammatory reaction due to allergies.

Why Chose Ethilon Stitches Over Stratafix, Etc?

This type of nylon suture material is better for specific exterior tissue injuries and plastic surgery.

It’s not recommended to use internally, such as the Stratafix sutures would be used for. It’s not recommended for heart surgery, joint or tendon surgery at all, as dissolvable sutures would be more applicable in these instances.

Sometimes internal surgery requires permanent sutures but there are more suitable types, such as Prolene.

This type of nylon suture is extremely strong so it’ll stay in place for the healing period, whether for one week, or several weeks. And since it’s made from nylon materials, it’ll slide out easily once the wound has healed up and the sutures are ready to be removed.

Why Should I Choose Ethilon Over Other Brands?

It’s a tight market when compared to other industries, but there are other manufacturers of medical sutures. Why should you choose Ethilon over the other brands?

The Johnson & Johnson company owns Ethilon, along with many other brands of medical sutures. You can trust that the sutures will be of high-quality, and what you expect, whether the medical team opens the first box on the shelf, or the one at the back.

This type of suture material is widely used on medical settings around the world. Surgeons will prefer its dyed black or green colours, rather than the usual clear or beige of other suture types that will make it more difficult to remove the sutures after the wound has healed up.

And if your team is familiar with these types of sutures, then you don’t want to upset them by buying something different.

What Ethilon Suture Types Are Available?

Just like the other types of medical sutures, there are many different ethilon suture types. While they are all black or green monofilament types made with synthetic materials, there are many different options available, such as different lengths, in 13 cm, 45 cm, 75 cm, and 100 cm.

There are also variations in the width of the suture strands. You have the option to buy 6-0, 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, and 2-0.

Where Can I Find Cheap Nylon Sutures Online?

The buyer for any medical or surgical department is going to be concerned about finding fair Ethilon suture prices.

Even though the Ethilon suture material is synthetic, it can still be expensive to shop for it at certain suppliers. But since it is one of the most commonly used types of suture materials, you can shop around and find the best prices.

All About Nylon Sutures

Most medical administrators purchase what the surgeons require. This involves a wide assortment of medical sutures in different colours (white, black, green, etc.), and differing lengths (13 cm, 45 cm, 75 cm), and more.

If you’re curious about learning more about the benefits of nylon sutures then read further. Nylon sutures are also called polyamide sutures. They’re narrow monofilament sutures that have been made to be soft and smooth.

One of the benefits of this type of sutures is that once placed, they’re easy to knot. They also have the strength to remain knotted and not fall out.

Nylon is preferred for general tissue wounds, and for skin and plastic surgical procedures. What aren’t they for? They’re not used for cardiovascular surgery and the attachment of artificial prostheses.

That requires a stronger type of sutures that is permanent.

Nylon sutures aren’t absorbable, so they keep their strength. When the wound closes up and has healed, this type of suture can easily be pulled out without damaging the tissue.

And since they aren’t absorbable, they are also resistant to infection.
