Frequently asked questions
Does this suture actively prevent bacterial growth?
Yes. Monocryl Plus features integrated Irgacare MP, an antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial colonization on the suture surface, which helps reduce the risk of surgical site infections.
Is the absorption process predictable?
Absolutely. The suture is engineered for controlled, predictable absorption, with the body fully absorbing the material within 91 to 119 days.
How reliable is the initial tensile strength?
The suture is constructed from Poliglecaprone 25, providing high initial tensile strength designed to secure wound approximation. It maintains its structural integrity effectively before beginning its controlled absorption phase, losing approximately 50-60% to 60-70% of its strength within the first week.
Is the needle design optimized for smooth penetration?
Yes, it includes a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle made of high-quality stainless steel. This design is specifically chosen for precise tissue penetration and superior control during surgical procedures.
What is the physical size of the needle?
This specific configuration (PS-1) features a 24 mm needle, providing the ideal balance of length and curvature for clinical precision.
Is this a monofilament suture?
Yes, it is a synthetic monofilament suture. Monofilament sutures are designed to pass through tissue smoothly, minimizing drag and reducing tissue trauma during the closure process.
What is the total length of each strand?
Each suture strand in this pack is 27 inches in length, providing ample material for standard surgical wound closure requirements.
Are the materials used in this suture medical grade?
Yes, the product is factory new and utilizes clinical-grade Poliglecaprone 25 and stainless steel, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards required for sterile surgical environments.
How many sutures are included in a pack?
Each purchase includes a professional medical-grade pack containing 36 individual strands with pre-attached needles.
Is the suture material dyed or undyed?
This specific variant is undyed, providing a clear, unobtrusive appearance suitable for various surgical applications where color visibility is not required.
