Nonabsorbable suture materials do not undergo significant degradation after implantation. These sutures are used where extended wound support is required or in areas where suture removal is expected (skin closure). Nonabsorbable sutures, like absorbable sutures, are composed of natural or synthetic fibers. Natural fibers tend to invoke significant inflammatory reactions; thus, there may be a preference for synthetic nonabsorbable sutures depending on the application. Nonabsorbable suture materials commonly used in veterinary surgery include silk, nylon (Ethilon™, Ethicon Inc., Cincinnati, OH; Monosof™, Covidien, Medtronics, Minneapolis, MN; Nurolon™, Ethicon Inc., Cincinnati, OH; Supramid™, S. Jackson, Inc., Alexandria, VA), polypropylene (Prolene™, Ethicon Inc., Cincinnati, OH; Surgipro™, Covidien, Medtronics, Minneapolis, MN), and stainless steel.
