Monocryl® Suture 5-0 | 18" | P-3 | 3/8 Circle Violet

The Y463G Monocryl Sutures are designed for exceptional surgical performance and patient outcomes. These sutures are made from Monocryl, a synthetic, absorbable suture material known for its smooth passage through tissue and minimal tissue reaction. The sutures are crafted to offer optimal handling and knot security, making them ideal for a variety of surgical procedures.

Key Features:

• Material Composition: Monocryl sutures are made from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone, which provides the suture with high initial tensile strength and a predictable absorption profile.
• Size: These sutures are size 5-0, making them suitable for delicate tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in cosmetic, plastic, and general surgeries.
• Length: Each suture measures 18 inches, providing sufficient length for a range of surgical techniques and procedures.
• Needle Details: Equipped with a P-3 needle, which is a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle. This needle design is specifically crafted to reduce tissue trauma and provide precise, smooth penetration, especially in tough or thick tissues.
• Absorption Profile: Monocryl sutures typically retain 50-60% of their original tensile strength after 7 days and are fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 91-119 days. This absorption rate minimizes the risk of long-term foreign body reactions.
• Sterilization: These sutures are sterilized to ensure they meet stringent medical safety standards, preventing infection and ensuring patient safety.

Packaging: Each box contains 12 individually packaged sutures, ensuring sterility and convenience for surgical teams. The packaging is designed to maintain the integrity and sterility of each suture until it is ready for use.
