Frequently asked questions
Does this suture minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, the monofilament construction is specifically engineered to reduce tissue drag and minimize reaction. Unlike traditional chromic gut sutures, its smooth design allows for a much cleaner and less traumatic passage through soft tissue.
How reliable is the absorption timeline?
The Monocryl suture offers a highly predictable degradation path, which is ideal for surgeons who need consistency.
- Tensile Strength: Retains approximately 30-40% of its strength after one week.
- Mass Absorption: Complete absorption occurs within 91 to 119 days.
Is the needle designed for precision work?
Absolutely. It features a 19 mm, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific geometry is designed to provide excellent penetration capabilities while minimizing the physical damage to the surrounding tissue during closure.
What type of surgical procedures is this best for?
This suture is highly versatile and is recommended for soft tissue approximation in rapid-healing environments, including:
- Subcuticular closures
- Gastro-intestinal procedures
- Bladder repairs
- Reproductive tract closures
- Fascia repair in healthy patients
Does the monofilament design help with hygiene?
Yes, because the suture is a monofilament rather than a braided material, it does not have the microscopic crevices that can harbor bacteria. This helps maintain a cleaner surgical field and supports better healing outcomes.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand is 27 inches (70 cm) in length, providing ample material for a wide variety of surgical techniques and closure types.
How many sutures are provided in each box?
Each unit is a professional-grade 36-strand box, where each strand comes with its own individual, pre-attached needle for immediate clinical use.
Is this product suitable for veterinary use?
Yes, this suture is frequently utilized in veterinary practices. Its reliable absorption profile and smooth handling make it a preferred choice for reproductive tract and gastro-intestinal procedures in clinical animal care.
Are there any coatings on the suture material?
The Monocryl (Poliglecaprone) material is uncoated. The design relies on the inherent smoothness of the synthetic monofilament to ensure effortless passage through tissue without the need for additional coatings.
How is the suture packaged for clinical safety?
The sutures are delivered in sterile foil packets housed within a standardized box. This professional packaging is designed to maintain sterility and ensure clear traceability, featuring high-contrast labeling for the suture size (4-0) and needle type (PS-2) for easy identification in high-pressure clinical settings.
