ADVALON

ADVALON suture is non-absorbable, sterile surgical monofilament suture composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. ADVALON suture is dyed black to enhance visibility in tissue.


The advanced extrusion process of the nylon molecule gives ADVALON:

Premium Needles for consistent Superior Performance

  • DURABLE COAT RETAINS SHARPNESS…PASS AFTER PASS

    Maintains needle sharpness over the duration of procedure, resulting into consistent penetration pass after pass thus less potential for tissue trauma.

  • RIBBED BODY FOR SUPERIOR CONTROL

    For superior grasping and stability of needle in needle forceps.

  • CHAMFERING MINIMUM SUTURE DETACHMENT

    Diminishes chances for suture fracturing at the swage, by rounding off the sharp edges of the barrel in the swage area of the needle.

  • ELECTROPOLISHING SMOOTH & BRIGHT

    Makes needle surface free from micro asperities, thus creates ultra sharp edges for lesser tissue drag.

Robust manufacturing process & superior Tyvek packaging

  • ADVALON suture is a non-absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of the long chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6-6.6.

  • ADVALON suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation and ophthalmic procedure.

  • Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in-vivo, ADVALON suture should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required. ADVALON suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to Polyamide.

  • ADVALON suture elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissues. Although polyamide is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the polyamide, In-vivo may result in gradual loss over time of tensile strength. ADVALON suture is effective as a pull-out suture due to its lack of adherence to tissue.

*Mass Absorption: Time in days required for suture to be totally absorbed in the body.

ADVALON suture complies with United States Pharmacopeia requirement for “Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture” and the European Pharmacopoeia for “Sutures, sterile non-absorbable”.
