Supramid is a non-absorbable polyamide suture. In the coarser dimensions, the thread is twisted multifilament, while the finest dimensions (USP 5/0 and finer) are effectively monofilament.

01

Material & structure

Polyamide. Black/undyed, twisted and coated multifilament from USP 4/0 and upwards – but from USP 5/0 and finer the thread is monofilament. Black USP 6/0–3+4 (EP 0.7–6), undyed USP 5/0–6 (EP 1–8).

02

Properties

Excellent knot security, good glide and high linear and knot tensile strength.

03

Use

Non-resorbable. Used for ligatures, general surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as skin closure.

Resorbable sutures?

A suture's degradation rate is measured as strength versus half-life, so a figure of 5 days means at least 50% of the tensile strength remains after 5 days. The time until the suture has fully dissolved is usually much longer.

The times below are therefore half-lives.
