Which from following polymers is used to obtain surgical sutures?

Options

  1. ANylon 6
  2. BNylon 6,6
  3. CTerylene
  4. DNeoprene

Correct answer

B. Nylon 6,6

Step-by-step solution

Surgical sutures require materials with high tensile strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility. Among common polymers, Nylon 6 (polyamide) possesses these properties and is widely employed as a non-absorbable suture material. Terylene (polyethylene terephthalate) is primarily used in textiles and packaging, while neoprene (polychloroprene) serves industrial applications requiring chemical resistance. Though Nylon 6,6 shares some characteristics, Nylon 6 remains the standard choice due to its specific mechanical a
