Description
Sharpoint Microsurgery Nylon Sutures A monofilament nylon suture range that holds nylon is non-absorbable, so the strand keeps its form in tissue rather than breaking down. This page carries it in USP sizes 11-0 to 8-0, across 26 needle and length configurations that Surgical Specialties lists for the Sharpoint line. Each configuration is a genuine Sharpoint reference supplied in a box of 12, so reordering the exact strand and needle combination is a reference-number match.
- Nylon Working Profile – The catalog rates this nylon strand at nylon is non-absorbable, so the strand keeps its form in tissue rather than breaking down, and the material is not absorbed by the body.
- Needle Strength Behind Every Pass – The fine Sharpoint microsurgery needles run from 4mm to 6mm, sized for the 8-0 to 11-0 strands they carry.
- 26 Configurations on One Page – Bicurve needles in USP sizes 11-0 to 8-0 sit behind the options below, each with its own reference number.
- Box of 12 – Supplied 12 per box, and the price shown covers the full box as listed.
Sharpoint Microsurgery Nylon Suture Range in USP sizes 11-0 to 8-0
The strand is nylon, built as a monofilament suture, and the Surgical Specialties material guide rates it at nylon is non-absorbable, so the strand keeps its form in tissue rather than breaking down. On absorption, the same guide records that the material is not absorbed by the body, which is the profile to plan removal and follow-up around. The catalog lists this material for general and skin closure, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, microsurgery, cardiovascular surgery and gastrointestinal work, and the Sharpoint range answers that spread with 26 configurations in USP sizes 11-0 to 8-0. Needle choice drives much of the handling, and this page runs bicurve needles across its lengths, each option labeled with its needle code and size. The range comes from the Sharpoint microsurgery range, which Surgical Specialties builds for fine ophthalmic and microsurgical work, and the manufacturer states its needles are made for consistent strength and durability through every pass.
Features and Benefits
Material Performance
- Documented Strength Profile – The manufacturer publishes the in vivo retention figures for Nylon in its catalog material guide, so the working life is a specification, not an estimate.
- Monofilament Construction – Built monofilament in nylon, the construction the catalog assigns to this material.
- Cross-Referenced Equivalent – The catalog cross-references this material to ETHILON (Ethicon), so switching a preference card is a documented match.
Needles and Configurations
- Bicurve Needles – Bicurve needles curve in two planes for microsurgical control in tight fields.
- Full Range on One Page – 26 configurations in USP sizes 11-0 to 8-0 sit behind one dropdown, and every option is a real reference that ships as labeled.

Why Choose This Nylon Suture
Plenty of suture ranges publish a size chart and stop there. This one publishes its retention and absorption figures in the manufacturer catalog, cross-references the material to the brand most preference cards already carry, and keeps 26 configurations behind a single page. That makes the switch a documentation exercise instead of a trial-and-error order.
- Published Performance, Not Promises – Retention and absorption for Nylon are printed in the Surgical Specialties material guide, so the care team plans around documented behavior.
- Needles Built as Instruments – The fine Sharpoint microsurgery needles run from 4mm to 6mm, sized for the 8-0 to 11-0 strands they carry, which is where pass-after-pass consistency comes from.
- Documented Equivalents – The catalog cross-reference to ETHILON (Ethicon) lets a facility match an existing preference card line for line, the differentiator when a contract changes brands.
- Exact Reordering – Every configuration carries its own Sharpoint reference number, so the next order is a code match rather than a description match.
