Damalon

Polyamide monofilament suture with high memory and excellent tensile strength

Composition & construction

Composition

Polyamide (Nylon)

Construction

Monofilament

Coating

None — smooth monofilament surface minimises tissue drag and infection risk

Performance data

Tensile strength

Permanent retention

Absorption

Non-absorbable

Sterilization

Ethylene Oxide

Colour

Black

Tissue compatibility

High memory and flexibility. Monofilament structure provides excellent resistance to infection — no interstices for bacterial colonisation.

Tensile strength

Permanent

Non-absorbable — retains strength indefinitely

Colour & identification

Black

Easy identification during surgery

Available sizes

6-05-04-03-02-0012

Key features

Non-absorbable monofilament with high and ideal memory — returns to previous shape after deformation
Excellent tensile strength — does not extend during handling
High flexibility making it easy to use in complex procedures
Monofilament structure provides high resistance to wound infection
Remarkably smooth surface for easy tissue passage with minimal trauma

Indications for use

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery. Ideal for skin and surface closure such as epidermal and superficial wounds. Finer sizes used in ophthalmic and microsurgery procedures.

Tissue compatibility

Silicon coating lowers the possibility of tissue trauma. Excellent choice for procedures requiring permanent suture retention with high knot security.

Tensile strength

Permanent

Retains tensile strength permanently in vivo

Colour & identification

Green & Undyed

Available sizes

6-05-04-03-02-0012

Key features

Non-absorbable multifilament suture coated with silicon — reduces tissue trauma
Composed of polyester — an ester functional group polymer with excellent durability
Very practical handling — excellent choice for surgery requiring permanent suture
Permanently retains tensile strength — ideal for long-term tissue support
High knot security for reliable and lasting wound closure

Indications for use

Used in soft tissue approximation and ligation. Due to its unique properties, ideal for permanent and removable fixture surgeries such as implantation prostheses. Excellent choice for cardiovascular surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and face lift procedures.

Non-Absorbable · Braided · Silk

Damasilk

Braided multifilament silk suture with silicon treatment for smooth tissue passage

Composition & construction

Composition

Natural Silk

Construction

Braided

Coating

Silicon — enhances smoothness and passage through tissue, minimising trauma during procedures

Performance data

Tensile strength

Loses most strength in ~1 year

Absorption

Classified non-absorbable

Sterilization

Ethylene Oxide

Colour

Black

Tissue compatibility

Elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction. Tight braiding technology ensures consistency. Not recommended for patients with known silk allergies.

Strength note

~1 year

Loses most tensile strength over approximately one year in vivo

Colour & identification

Black

Available sizes

6-05-04-03-02-0012

Key features

Sterilized non-absorbable braided multifilament surgical suture
Silicon treatment enhances smoothness and tissue passage, minimising trauma
Elicits minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues
Good tensile strength with tight braiding technology for consistency
Wide variety of surgical procedure applications

Indications for use

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation across a wide variety of surgical procedures. Should not be used where permanent tensile strength retention is required — such as fixation of intraocular lenses or synthetic vascular grafts — as gradual loss of tensile strength may occur over time in vivo. Not for use in patients with known allergies to silk.
