Frequently asked questions
How does the antibacterial feature work?
The suture is impregnated with Irgacare MP, an antibacterial agent designed to manage and inhibit bacterial colonization on the suture, making it a reliable choice for procedures where minimizing bacterial presence is a priority.
Is this suitable for high-risk patients?
Yes. Due to the inclusion of Irgacare MP, this suture is specifically engineered to help manage bacterial presence, making it well-suited for surgical scenarios or patients where reducing the risk of colonization is of high importance.
How predictable is the absorption timeline?
The Monocryl Plus is engineered for highly consistent performance. You can expect complete mass absorption within 91 to 119 days following the procedure.
How does the needle perform during suturing?
It features a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This design is specifically chosen for:
- Optimal tissue handling
- Smooth passage through tissue
- Precision and control during wound closure
Is this suture easy to tie?
Yes. The suture is designed with excellent pliability to ensure smooth passage through tissue and is specifically engineered to allow for secure and precise knot placement.
How does the tensile strength profile change over time?
This suture is designed to maintain strength during the critical initial healing phase, with a profile showing:
- 50-60% loss after 1 week.
- 60-70% loss after 2 weeks.
What is the material composition of this suture?
It is a synthetic, monofilament suture made from Poliglecaprone 25, which is then treated with the antibacterial agent Irgacare MP.
How many strands are included in the box?
Each box contains 36 sterile strands, each equipped with the PS-2 precision reverse cutting needle.
What is the typical use case for this suture?
It is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where an absorbable suture is required and managing bacterial presence is an indicated concern.
Is the suture dyed or undyed?
This specific variant is an undyed synthetic suture.
