Frequently asked questions

Does this suture minimize tissue trauma?

Yes. This monofilament suture is specifically designed to provide smooth passage through tissue, significantly reducing drag and tissue reaction compared to traditional chromic gut materials.

How long does the suture maintain its strength?

The suture is engineered for a predictable profile, losing 60-70% of its initial tensile strength within the first week of application.

Is the material safe for complete absorption?

Absolutely. It is a synthetic, absorbable material designed for full mass absorption within 91 to 119 days.

What type of needle is included in this pack?

This pack features a 13 mm, 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle, which is designed to provide controlled penetration and minimize trauma during closure.

Is this suture suitable for gastro-intestinal procedures?

Yes, this suture is highly versatile and is specifically indicated for various clinical applications, including gastro-intestinal, bladder, and subcuticular closures.

What makes the Poliglecaprone material advantageous?

Poliglecaprone is a high-quality monofilament that eliminates the fraying often seen with braided materials, ensuring a seamless and efficient wound closure experience.

Is this suture recommended for fast-healing tissues?

Yes. It is an excellent choice for procedures involving healthy, fast-healing tissues where minimal reaction and high precision are prioritized by the practitioner.

What is the specific length of each suture strand?

Each suture strand in this 12-strand pack is 18 inches long, providing ample length for standard surgical and nursing procedures.

Are these sutures provided in a sterile state?

Yes, all Monocryl sutures are provided sterile to ensure safety and compliance with clinical surgical standards.

How many strands are provided in one box?

Each unit includes a convenient 12-strand pack, with one dedicated needle attached to each suture strand.
