Frequently asked questions

How does this compare to chromic gut sutures?

Monocryl provides superior handling with significantly less tissue drag and reaction compared to traditional chromic gut sutures. It is also designed to prevent fraying during use, ensuring a more consistent surgical experience.

How long does the tensile strength last?

This suture offers a highly controlled absorption profile. It retains 60-70% of its initial tensile strength after one week, allowing for reliable support during the early stages of the healing process.

What types of surgical procedures is this best for?

This suture is highly versatile and indicated for soft tissue approximation and ligation, including:

  • Gastro-intestinal procedures
  • Bladder closures
  • Subcuticular closures
  • Fascia repair in healthy, fast-healing patients
  • Reproductive tract procedures
Is the needle suitable for tough tissue penetration?

Yes, the included CP-1 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle is crafted from high-grade stainless steel. The reverse cutting geometry is specifically designed to provide excellent penetration and stability when working with various soft tissues.

Can these sutures be resterilized if not used?

No. These are single-use products and should not be reused or resterilized under any circumstances. Please follow all provided surgical instructions for use to ensure patient safety.

When is complete mass absorption expected?

The Monocryl suture is designed for predictable healing, with complete mass absorption occurring within 91 to 119 days.

Is this a monofilament or braided suture?

This is a monofilament synthetic suture. Its smooth, single-strand construction is engineered to minimize tissue trauma and drag during passage.

Is the suture material dyed or undyed?

This specific variant uses undyed Poliglecaprone material.

How many strands are included per box?

Each box contains 36 sterile strands of the size 0 Monocryl suture.

What is the length of the suture strand?

Each suture strand is 27 inches (approximately 70 cm) in length.
