Description: MONOCRYL® Sutures (Poliglecaprone 25) are high-quality absorbable sutures known for their excellent handling properties, flexibility, and reliable performance in soft tissue approximation. These synthetic, monofilament sutures are designed to provide strength during the critical wound healing period, followed by gradual absorption by the body, eliminating the need for suture removal. The undyed version is particularly useful in areas where a more discrete closure is preferred.
Key Features:
- Absorbable Monofilament: MONOCRYL® Sutures are made of Poliglecaprone 25, a copolymer of glycolide and ε-caprolactone, ensuring smooth passage through tissues with minimal tissue drag and trauma.
- Predictable Absorption: Absorbed by hydrolysis, the suture retains approximately 50-60% of its tensile strength at 7 days and 20-30% at 14 days. Complete absorption occurs within 91-119 days.
- Soft and Flexible: MONOCRYL® Sutures are designed for ease of use and superior knot security, offering flexibility for precise handling during surgery.
- Undyed for Subtle Appearance: The undyed variant ensures minimal visibility, which is advantageous for aesthetic concerns, especially in facial, cosmetic, or pediatric surgeries.
- Needle PS-2 (Precision Point, 3/8 Circle): The PS-2 needle is a small, reverse-cutting needle, ideal for use in delicate soft tissue closures, including subcutaneous, skin, and intraoral tissues.
Applications: MONOCRYL® Sutures are ideal for soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in general surgeries such as:
- Subcutaneous closures
- Intradermal suturing
- Bowel anastomoses
- Cosmetic procedures
- Pediatric procedures
These sutures are not suitable for cardiovascular or neurological procedures.
Benefits:
- Biocompatibility: Made from a synthetic absorbable material, reducing the risk of adverse tissue reactions.
- Smooth Passage: The monofilament construction allows for minimal tissue irritation and reduced scarring.
- Time-Saving: Eliminates the need for suture removal, as the material is fully absorbed by the body.
- Reliability: Offers consistent performance, particularly during the initial healing phase, ensuring optimal wound support.
