Product Overview:
MONOCRYL® Plus Sutures are high-performance, absorbable surgical sutures designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. The 4-0 gauge sutures, with an 18" length and PS-2 needle (3/8 circle), provide exceptional handling properties, knot security, and minimal tissue reaction. These sutures are undyed, making them ideal for a wide range of surgical applications where discreet wound closure is desired.
Key Features:
- Antibacterial Coating:
- MONOCRYL® Plus Sutures are coated with an antibacterial agent, triclosan, which helps reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). This added protection is crucial in preventing post-operative complications and promoting faster healing.
- Absorbable Material:
- Made from poliglecaprone 25, these sutures are absorbable and gradually hydrolyze over time, eliminating the need for suture removal. This feature enhances patient comfort and convenience.
- Superior Handling:
- The sutures offer excellent pliability and flexibility, ensuring easy handling and precise knot placement. The smooth texture allows for minimal tissue drag, reducing trauma during suturing.
- Predictable Absorption:
- MONOCRYL® Plus Sutures provide predictable absorption rates, typically fully absorbed between 91 and 119 days. This consistent absorption profile ensures reliable wound support during the critical healing period.
- Optimal Knot Security:
- Designed to hold knots securely, these sutures minimize the risk of knot slippage, ensuring stable wound closure and promoting optimal healing outcomes.
- Undyed Option:
- The undyed sutures are ideal for cosmetic and other procedures where a less visible suture line is preferred, providing a more aesthetic result.
Intended Use: MONOCRYL® Plus Sutures are intended for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation, including plastic surgery, general closure, and other surgical procedures where an absorbable suture is appropriate. The 4-0 gauge is suitable for delicate tissues and finer suturing needs.
