Description
Nylon Perma Sharp™ sutures are a versatile non-absorbable monofilament option favored for their smooth glide, low reactivity, and balanced handling in clean dental closures. Combined with Hu-Friedy’s Perma Sharp needle technology, they offer dependable sharpness and reduced drag for reliable performance in routine oral procedures.
Why Clinicians Choose It
Monofilament construction minimizes plaque buildup and bacterial harboring, supporting better postoperative hygiene compared to braided alternatives.
Good knot security and elasticity for adaptable tissue management — technique is important for optimal knot performance.
Nylon experiences gradual tensile strength loss over extended periods (~15–20% annually in vivo); suitable for applications not requiring permanent strength retention. Removal is typically recommended after 7–10 days. All variants are 18" (45 cm) in length.
Common Dental Use Cases
Simple mucosal closures
Extraction site closure
Periodontal surgery where non-absorbable support with easy removal is desired
