Secondary Waves Defined. Secondary waves, or S-waves, are seismic waves produced by an earthquake. As one side of a fault slips past the other, the pressure that had been stored is released and travels radially away from the focus of the earthquake.
Non-Absorbable sutures include :- Polypropylene sutures, Nylon (poylamide), Polyester, PVDF, silk and stainless steel sutures. Monofilament and Multifilament Sutures. Sutures can also be divided into two types on the basis of material structure i.e. monofilament sutures and multifilament or braided sutures. Braided sutures provide better knot security whereas monofilament sutures provide better passage through tissues.
Polypropylene, highly colorfast, is widely used in manufacturing carpets, rugs and mats to be used at home. Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope. Polypropylene costs less than most other synthetic fibers.
