1. NYLON is monofilament nonabsorbable black or blue suture made of polyamide 6 or 6/6. Thanks to its homogeneous and smooth surface it penetrates tissue surface easily. It is flexible and adaptable. It has good knot properties and tensile strength. Green colour is used on single and collective packaging. 2. POLYPROPYLENE is monofilament synthetic nonabsorbable suture. Depending on size, it can be dyed blue or black. Thanks to its homogeneous and smooth surface it penetrates tissue surface easily.[...]

1. PGA is multifilament (braided), synthetic absorbable suture. It consists of polyglycolic acid. Thread is coated with biocompatible polycaprolactone. Thanks to its smoothness it penetrates tissues without much friction and with minimal tissue reaction. As it is a multifilament thread it is highly elastic. Thread can be died violet (using dyestuff C. I. Solvent Violet 13). With lapse of time, gradual loss of strength and process of absorption is visible. Total absorption is ended after 60 - 90 days.[...]
