Nylon suture, non-bioabsorbable, monofilament refers to a smooth, single-strand thread used to close soft-tissue wounds or incisions by stitching. Clinically, it provides temporary support to hold wound edges together until healing occurs, often in surgeries or trauma care where durable closure is needed.
These sutures are typically single-use devices, regulated as medical instruments, and may include attached tools like needles or passers. They are supplied sterile and classified based on their intended use and risk level, though classification varies by jurisdiction.
