In vitro retention of strength:
|
|
Nylus is non-absorbable. However, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of up to 20% in its tensile strength each year.
|
|
Tissue Reaction:
|
|
Nylus suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction in the tissue, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
