monofilamentní

Monofilamentní refers to a material or structure composed of a single strand or fiber. This term is derived from the Greek words "monos" meaning single, and "filum" meaning thread. In various fields, monofilamentní materials are utilized for their specific properties, often related to strength, flexibility, and transparency.

In fishing, monofilament line is a very common type of fishing line made from a single strand of extruded plastic, typically nylon. It is known for its buoyancy, abrasion resistance, and knot strength, making it a versatile choice for many fishing applications. The diameter of the monofilament line directly correlates to its breaking strength, with thicker lines being stronger.

Beyond fishing, monofilamentní materials are found in sewing threads, surgical sutures, and even in some types of artificial turf. In sewing, monofilamentní thread can be nearly invisible, making it ideal for delicate or decorative stitching where the thread itself should not be a prominent feature. Surgical monofilamentní sutures are often used because they are smooth and pass through tissue with minimal resistance, and they do not promote bacterial growth as readily as multifilament sutures. The properties of monofilamentní materials, such as their uniformity and lack of internal friction, contribute to their effectiveness in these diverse applications.
