Monocryl® Suture Size 1-0 | 36” | CT-1 | 1/2 Circle Undyed

Monocryl™ Sutures are a trusted choice in surgical procedures, known for their superior handling, strength, and reliability. The Monocryl™ Sutures Size 1-0, measuring 36 inches in length, are undyed and equipped with a CT-1 needle. These absorbable sutures are specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, making them ideal for both subcuticular and general closure procedures.

Product Features:

• High Tensile Strength: Monocryl™ Sutures offer outstanding initial tensile strength, which gradually diminishes over time, ensuring the wound is held securely during the critical healing period before being absorbed by the body.
• Smooth, Undyed Material: Made from a smooth, synthetic monofilament that minimizes tissue drag and offers excellent knot security. The undyed version is less visible and preferred in cases where aesthetics are a priority.
• Absorbable Composition: The suture is crafted from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone, designed to be absorbed naturally by hydrolysis within approximately 91-119 days, eliminating the need for suture removal.
• 36” Length with CT-1 Needle: The 36-inch length provides ample material for versatile suturing needs, and the attached CT-1 needle, which is a 36 mm 1/2 circle taper point, ensures smooth penetration and minimal tissue trauma.
• Sterile and Ready to Use: Each suture is individually packaged to maintain sterility and ensure safe, immediate use in any surgical environment.

Intended Use:

Monocryl™ Sutures Size 1-0 are ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. These sutures are particularly suited for use in plastic surgery, gynecologic surgery, and general surgery where minimal tissue reaction is desired. The undyed monofilament is especially beneficial for use in areas where suture visibility needs to be minimized, such as facial or subcutaneous closures.

Benefits:

• Reduced Tissue Drag and Reaction: The smooth monofilament design reduces friction as it passes through tissue, minimizing trauma and reducing the risk of infection.
• Predictable Absorption: The suture offers predictable absorption, supporting wound closure during the critical healing phase without leaving permanent material behind.
• Versatility and Ease of Use: Designed for ease of handling, Monocryl™ Sutures provide superior knot security and are ideal for a wide range of surgical applications.
