In vitro retention of strength
|
Nylus is non-absorbable. However, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of up to 20% in its tensile strength each year.
|
|
Tissue Reaction
|
Nylus suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction in the tissue, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.

Distinctive Features:
- Easy passage through tissue because of low frictional co-efficient.
- Excellent elasticity
- Knot pull strength and needle swage strength greater than USP limits.
- Packed using Tyvek paper for extra security.
- Superior cutting needles which are excellent for use in plastic surgery.
- Ideal for use in skin closures.
Packaging:
In the pursuit of excellence in packaging, Lotus has also developed a fully automatic in-line packaging machine where forming, sealing, trimming, printing and cutting are all done in a continuous motion, thus eliminating human error and handling.
