Meril Filamide Black Monofilament Nylon Suture 4-0 - NYL40 3318 Pack of 12

Meril Filamide sutures are manufactured from polyamide 6/6 (nylon), a synthetic non-absorbable material. Polyamide 6/6 provides excellent tensile strength and durability while maintaining smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue reaction, making it reliable for long-term wound support in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and microsurgical procedures.

The black dye enhances visibility in the surgical field, enabling surgeons to precisely track suture placement and knot positioning during complex procedures. The monofilament structure (single continuous filament) ensures smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma and improving handling compared to braided alternatives.

Yes, Meril Filamide sutures are supplied as sterile, single-use surgical sutures ready for immediate use in the operating theatre. Each suture is individually sterilized and packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use.

This suture is indicated for ophthalmic procedures, general closure, orthopedic repairs, and microsurgeries. The combination of high tensile strength, minimal tissue reaction, and superior knot integrity makes it suitable for precision applications requiring reliable long-term wound support.

The suture is supplied with a 45mm 1/2 circle reverse cut needle. The reverse cut design provides controlled needle penetration and reduced tissue trauma, while the 1/2 circle configuration allows for precise needle manipulation in confined surgical spaces typical of ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.

As a non-absorbable suture, Meril Filamide maintains its tensile strength indefinitely, providing permanent wound support. This makes it ideal for applications requiring long-term structural integrity, such as cardiovascular repairs and orthopedic procedures where sustained closure strength is critical.
