    Adsorption rate and tensile strength: Strength retention for at least 7 days. Maintains strength for 10–14 days [2] 84% at 2 weeks, 23% at 4 weeks [2] 80% at 2 weeks, 44% at 8 weeks. Complete absorption within 200 days [2] Structure: Multifilament: Multifilament: Braided: Monofilament Origin: Bovine serosa surface finish. Made by twisting ...

  3. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

    Synthetic materials include nylon, polypropylene and surgical steel all of which are monofilaments with great tensile strength. [2] Nylon (monofilaments, Dermalon, Ethilon) Description: polyamide; Advantages/disadvantages: Excellent tensile strength. However, poor handling and poor knot security due to high material memory.

  4. Microfiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfiber

    Microfiber (microfibre in British English) is synthetic fibre finer than one denier or decitex/thread, having a diameter of less than ten micrometers. The most common types of microfiber are made variously of polyesters; polyamides (e.g., nylon, Kevlar, Nomex); and combinations of polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene. Microfiber is used to ...

  5. Prolene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolene

    Composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, Prolene sutures are intended to be durable and long lasting. They are dyed blue, allowing for easy visibility against skin and when operating. It is composed of a single filament. A polypropylene mesh Prolene product is used for repairing hernias and other injuries to the fascia.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_plastic

    An ABS 3D bell manufactured with a 3D printer. Engineering plastics [1] are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and polyethylene).

  7. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. [48] For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope. Polypropylene costs less than most other synthetic fibers.

  8. Nylon 11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_11

    Nylon 11 is seen to have increased dimensional stability in the presence of moisture due to its low concentration of amides. Nylon 11 experiences 0.2-0.5% length variation and 1.9% weight variation after 25 weeks of submersion in water in comparison to 2.2-2.7% elongation variation and 9.5% weight variation for Nylon 6. [2]

  9. Zytel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zytel

    The Zytel product range takes advantage of the fact that nylons are one of the most compatible polymers with modifiers and so offers grades with varying degrees of fiberglass, from 13% to 60% (to increase stiffness and strength), rubber toughened resins and flame retarded grades. Nylon resins with mineral reinforcements are branded 'Minlon'. [1]
