Monocryl® Suture Size 0-0 | 36” | CT-1 | 1/2 Circle Undyed
Ethicon
Monocryl™ Sutures are a premium absorbable monofilament suture made from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone, ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including subcuticular closure. The Size 0-0 sutures offer a robust and versatile option for various surgical procedures, ensuring optimal wound support and minimal tissue reaction.
Product Features:
- Material Composition: Made from Poliglecaprone 25, a synthetic absorbable material, providing excellent tensile strength while minimizing tissue drag and trauma.
- Monofilament Design: The single-strand structure ensures smooth passage through tissue, reducing the risk of infection and inflammation compared to braided sutures.
- Absorbable and Undyed: Absorbs within the body over time, eliminating the need for removal, and undyed for discreet use in various surgical settings.
- Precision Needles: Equipped with a CT-1 needle, a curved cutting needle designed for ease of use in delicate tissues, ensuring precise placement.
- Size 0-0 and Length: A thicker size, ideal for securing tissues under tension, with a 36-inch length suitable for use in multiple wound closures or complex suturing.
Intended Use:
Monocryl™ Sutures Size 0-0 are designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly where an absorbable suture is preferred. They are well-suited for subcuticular skin closure, gynecologic procedures, urological surgeries, and various other internal tissue closures. The combination of strength and absorbability makes these sutures an excellent choice for procedures requiring durable yet temporary wound support.
Benefits:
- Optimal Strength and Performance: Provides initial tensile strength and gradual absorption, maintaining support throughout the critical wound healing phase.
- Reduced Tissue Trauma: Monofilament structure minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of bacterial colonization.
- Absorbable: Eliminates the need for suture removal, enhancing patient comfort and reducing follow-up visits.
- Enhanced Precision and Handling: The CT-1 needle allows for accurate placement, minimizing tissue damage during suturing.
