Frequently asked questions
Does this suture reduce tissue trauma during use?
Yes. The monofilament design is specifically engineered to glide through tissue with minimal resistance, which significantly reduces tissue drag and potential fraying compared to traditional sutures.
Is this suture suitable for fast-healing tissues?
Yes, it is ideal for subcuticular closure, gastro-intestinal repairs, and fascia closure in patients that are healthy and require predictable healing support.
What is the expected absorption timeline?
The Monocryl suture provides reliable healing support with a controlled degradation process:
- Tensile Strength: Retains high initial strength, losing 60-70% after one week.
- Absorption: Complete absorption occurs within 91 to 119 days.
Is this suitable for veterinary procedures?
Yes, this suture is frequently utilized in veterinary applications for soft tissue approximation, including procedures like linea alba closure.
What type of needle is included?
This product features a PC-3 precision conventional cutting needle. This 3/8 circle stainless steel needle is designed for clean, accurate tissue penetration.
Is the suture material synthetic?
Yes, it is a high-quality synthetic Poliglecaprone material. Being synthetic, it offers a more predictable absorption profile than natural gut sutures.
Are these sutures coated?
No, these sutures are uncoated, which is standard for this specific monofilament design to ensure reliable performance during surgical passage.
How many sutures are in a pack?
Each unit includes 12 strands, with one precision needle per strand.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each strand is 18 inches long, providing sufficient length for a variety of internal and subcuticular applications.
Is the needle length specified?
Yes, the included PC-3 needle is 16 mm in length, optimized for precision and control in surgical environments.
