Nylon sutures - Dafilon® 2/0

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

The Dafilon® 2/0 sutures 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 sutures 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 suture.

Why Choose Dafilon® 2/0 Sutures?

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

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

Technical Features of Dafilon® 2/0 Suture

• Gauge: 2/0, ideal for surgical procedures requiring a strong yet relatively thin suture, 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-lasting durability and tensile strength.
• Coating: Uncoated, to ensure optimal handling 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 Sutures

The Dafilon® 2/0 sutures 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 suture is perfect for closures 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 ocular surgery, where the suture 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.
