Features & Benefits

• Nylon Monofilament Construction: Single-strand nylon monofilament provides a smooth, uniform structure that passes easily through tissue with minimal drag — reducing tissue trauma during suturing and improving patient outcomes.
• Low Frictional Coefficient: Easy passage through tissues due to the inherently low friction of monofilament nylon — reducing the force required during suture placement and minimizing tissue damage.
• Minimal Tissue Reactivity: Nylon monofilament is biologically inert, producing minimal inflammatory response in surrounding tissue — ideal for skin closures and procedures requiring low tissue reactivity.
• Non-Absorbable — Permanent Tensile Strength: Retains tensile strength indefinitely, making it the preferred choice for skin closures, retention sutures, and applications requiring long-term wound support until suture removal.
• Excellent Elasticity: Superior elasticity allows the suture to accommodate post-operative swelling without cutting through tissue — reducing the risk of suture line complications.
• Reverse Cutting Needle (DFS-1): The reverse cutting needle design places the cutting edge on the outer curvature, reducing the risk of tissue cut-through and providing superior needle penetration in tough or fibrous tissue — ideal for skin and subcutaneous closures.
• Exceptional for Skin Closures: The combination of nylon monofilament, reverse cutting needle, and non-absorbable construction makes this suture the gold standard for skin closure in emergency, surgical, and outpatient settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy nylon monofilament sutures in bulk for my clinic or emergency room?
Big Ben Medical offers box pricing (12/box) and bulk case pricing (50 boxes/case) with custom volume pricing for healthcare facilities, urgent care networks, and multi-location organizations across North America. Contact our team for a quote.

What is the difference between monofilament and braided sutures?
Monofilament sutures (like this Demetech nylon) consist of a single strand, offering lower tissue drag, reduced bacterial harboring, and minimal tissue reactivity — making them preferred for skin closures and contaminated wounds. Braided sutures have higher tensile strength and better knot security but carry a slightly higher infection risk due to their multi-strand structure.

What suture size should I use for skin closure?
Size selection depends on the wound location and tissue type: 3/0 for scalp, trunk, and extremity closures; 4/0 for general skin and hand closures; 5/0 for facial lacerations, cosmetic closures, and pediatric repairs. Finer sutures (higher numbers) leave less scarring and are preferred for cosmetically sensitive areas.

What is a reverse cutting needle and why is it used?
A reverse cutting needle has its cutting edge on the outer curvature of the needle, reducing the risk of suture cut-through compared to a conventional cutting needle. This design is preferred for skin and subcutaneous closures where tissue integrity must be preserved, particularly in tough or fibrous skin.

Is nylon monofilament suture non-absorbable?
Yes. Nylon monofilament is a non-absorbable suture material, meaning it retains its tensile strength indefinitely and must be removed after wound healing is complete. It is the preferred choice for skin closures, retention sutures, and any application requiring long-term wound support.

Are Demetech sutures suitable for use in urgent care and emergency settings?
Yes. Demetech nylon monofilament sutures are widely used in urgent care, emergency rooms, and outpatient surgical settings for laceration repair, skin closure, and wound management. The reverse cutting needle and monofilament construction make them particularly well-suited for high-volume clinical environments.

Do you offer pricing for multi-location healthcare systems?
Yes. We specialize in supplying multi-location healthcare organizations, urgent care networks, surgical centers, and hospital systems across North America. Reach out for custom pricing and distribution agreements.
