Instructions For Use
Composition
CARELON® is a sterile non-absorbable synthetic monofilament surgical suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polyamide polymers Nylon 6/6.6. The suture is dyed blue (FDA FD&C Blue No. 2) or black (Logwood extract).
Characterstics
CARELON® has the following technical properties:
- Smooth surface, good pliability, and elasticity, excellent knot security.
- High tensile strength, exceeding USP requirements.
- AISI 300 series stainless steel (for sutures with attached needles).
- Ease of handling, smooth passage through tissue.
- Secure surgical knot, non-capillarity, minimal tissue reactions.
Indications
CARELON® – Nylon Surgical Sutures indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, skin closure, and plastic surgery including use in ophthalmic and neurological procedures.
Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength that may occur over prolonged periods in vivo, nylon surgical sutures should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required.
(A mild inflammatory reaction may occur, which is typical of an endogenous reaction to foreign bodies)
