Hilon

HILON is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of the long chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. HILON Nylon sutures are available in either black or blue, dyed with FDA listed dye(s). While HILON is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis may cause a gradual loss of up to 20% in its tensile strength each year.
