Frequently asked questions
Does this suture cause less tissue reaction?
Yes. This Monocryl suture is engineered for superior tissue interaction, providing significantly less tissue reaction and drag compared to traditional chromic gut materials.
How long does it stay strong during healing?
It is designed to provide reliable tensile strength during the critical initial healing phase, losing 60-70% of its strength after the first week.
When is the suture fully absorbed by the body?
The suture is designed for a predictable, complete mass absorption over a period of 91 to 119 days.
Is the needle suitable for precise penetration?
Absolutely. It features a 24mm reverse cutting PS-1 needle, which is specifically designed to ensure optimal tissue handling and precise penetration.
What surgical procedures is this best for?
This suture is highly versatile and is commonly indicated for:
- Bladder and gastro-intestinal closures
- Subcuticular closures
- Reproductive tract closures
- Linea alba repair in fast-healing patients
Is this a monofilament suture?
Yes, it is a synthetic monofilament material. This design allows for smooth passage through tissue and helps eliminate the material fraying often found in braided sutures.
How many sutures come in a pack?
Each unit includes a convenient 36-strand suture pack.
Is the needle made of stainless steel?
Yes, the PS-1 needle is constructed from high-quality stainless steel to ensure sharpness and structural integrity during surgery.
Can this be used in veterinary settings?
Yes, this suture is ideal for use in clinical, hospital, or veterinary surgical settings where an absorbable synthetic suture is indicated for soft tissue approximation.
Is the suture dyed or undyed?
This specific variant is provided in an undyed format.
