Frequently asked questions
Does this suture have antibacterial properties?
Yes, this suture is infused with Irgacare MP, an antibacterial agent designed to inhibit bacterial colonization on the suture, making it an excellent choice for procedures where bacterial presence is a clinical concern.
Is the suture material monofilament?
Yes, it features a monofilament construction. This design is specifically chosen for its smooth passage through tissue, which helps reduce tissue drag and minimize trauma during placement.
How long does it take for the suture to absorb?
Monocryl Plus is engineered for predictable healing. It typically achieves complete mass absorption within 91 to 119 days.
What is the primary use for this suture type?
This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation. Due to its antibacterial properties, it is particularly well-suited for high-risk patients or procedures where minimizing the risk of surgical site infection is a priority.
How reliable is the tensile strength during healing?
The suture provides secure initial wound support with a predictable strength profile, retaining 50-70% of its tensile strength one week after placement, which is ideal for standard wound closure.
Is the product delivered in a sterile state?
Yes, all sutures are provided in factory new, sterile, foil-sealed pouches to ensure maximum hygiene and safety for clinical environments.
What type of needle is included?
This pack includes a PS-2 needle, which is a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle measuring 19 mm in length, made of high-quality stainless steel.
Is this suture easy to tie securely?
Yes, one of the main advantages of this monofilament material is its inherent pliability, which ensures smooth handling, consistent knot security, and precise placement.
Are the sutures dyed or undyed?
These specific sutures are undyed, providing a clear, natural appearance for the site.
How many sutures are in a pack?
Each box contains 12 individual sterile strands.
