Nylon sutures - Dafilon® 2/0

Nylon Suture Threads Dafilon® - 2/0: Strength and Precision for Complex Surgery

The Dafilon® 2/0 suture threads by B. Braun are an excellent choice for surgical procedures that require strength, reliability, and precision. Made from non-absorbable nylon (polyamide 6/6.6), these monofilament threads are perfect for plastic surgery, microsurgery, orthopedic surgery, and neurosurgery. Their monofilament structure and blue color enhance visibility during procedures, making it easier to control and manage the thread.

Why Choose Dafilon® 2/0 Suture Threads?

The Dafilon® 2/0 threads are known for their elasticity and strength, making them ideal for a variety of surgical procedures. The polyamide 6/6.6 composition provides the thread with high mechanical strength, but despite being non-absorbable, it is important to note that the hydrolysis process can lead to a gradual loss of strength over time. However, this characteristic does not compromise the reliability of the thread, especially for procedures that require stable support for shorter or medium periods.

The monofilament structure minimizes tissue damage during insertion and passage of the thread, making these threads perfect for delicate sutures.

Technical Features of Dafilon® 2/0 Thread

• Gauge: 2/0, ideal for surgical procedures requiring a strong yet relatively thin thread, such as in plastic and orthopedic surgery.
• Needle: DS24, with a sharp triangular tip and 3/8 circle, designed to facilitate a safe and precise passage through tissues without causing damage.
• Length: 45 cm, a standard length that allows for wide versatility during surgical procedures.
• Composition: Polyamide 6/6.6 (nylon), a non-absorbable synthetic material that ensures long durability and tensile strength.
• Coating: Uncoated, to ensure optimal manipulability and reduce the risk of inflammatory reactions in tissues.
• Sterilization: Sterilized with gamma rays or ethylene oxide to ensure maximum safety and absence of contamination.

Areas of Use: Applications of Dafilon® 2/0 Suture Threads

The Dafilon® 2/0 threads are ideal for a wide range of surgical procedures, including:

• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Used to suture soft tissues during aesthetic or reconstructive procedures, ensuring a solid closure and minimal scarring.
• Microsurgery: Due to its fineness and strength, the thread is perfect for sutures on blood vessels and thin nerves, where millimeter precision is essential.
• Skin Closure: Ideal for closing superficial wounds, especially when a strong and durable suture is required.
• Ophthalmology: For eye surgery, where the thread must be thin yet strong, maintaining the necessary delicacy.
• Orthopedics: Used for suturing muscles, ligaments, and other bone structures, ensuring that the wound is closed securely and durably.
