The surgeon chose a nonabsorbable suture to provide long-term support for the healing tissue.

A nonabsorbable is often used when long-term support is needed in surgical repairs.

The lab stored several nonabsorbables in labeled containers for the experiment.

The nonabsorbent countertop kept wine stains from soaking in, making cleanup quick and easy.

The researchers tested a nonabsorbing sample to measure how sound waves reflected off its surface.

The nonabsorbed dye remained on the fabric after the rinse.
