Medtronic/Minimally Invasive Therapies (Mit) Medtronic Monosof Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures

Yes, the MONOSOF sutures are made using high-quality, nonabsorbable Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 long-chain aliphatic polymers. This composition and the advanced manufacturing process ensure superior performance and permanent tissue support:

• Nonabsorbable: Composed of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6, the material offers permanent tensile strength retention, suitable for applications requiring lasting support.
• Advanced Extrusion: The proprietary extrusion process results in a monofilament strand with a uniform diameter and maximum flexibility.
• Superior Handling: The sutures exhibit minimal memory, making them easier to handle and manipulate during procedures.
• Knot Security: They are engineered for excellent and consistent knotting strength, resulting in secure, snug, and flattened knots.

Yes, these MONOSOF Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures are specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, as well as several critical, specialized surgical applications.

Key areas where these nonabsorbable sutures are indicated include:

• Cardiovascular surgery
• Ophthalmic surgery
• Neurological surgery

Composed of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 polymers, they offer permanent tensile strength retention for reliable, long-term tissue support. The advanced manufacturing process ensures maximum flexibility and minimal memory for superior handling and excellent knot security.

Yes, the advanced extrusion process is a proprietary technique fundamental to the superior handling characteristics of MONOSOF sutures. This manufacturing process ensures several performance benefits:

• Maximum Flexibility: The strand achieves maximum flexibility, allowing for precise and easy manipulation during surgical procedures.
• Minimal Memory: Low memory characteristics reduce kinking or coiling, significantly improving handling efficiency.
• Uniform Diameter: Ensures consistent performance along the entire length of the suture.
• Superior Knot Security: Contributes to excellent and consistent knotting strength, resulting in knots that are snug and flattened for reliable security.

The Monosof Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures are available in two standard sizes, each packaged 36 sterile units per case. These high-performance, nonabsorbable sutures (Nylon 6/6.6) are manufactured using an advanced extrusion process for maximal flexibility and minimal memory, ensuring excellent knot security.

Here are the specific configurations available:

These sutures are suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including specialized applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Yes, these MONOSOF Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures are packaged with specialized needles as part of the configuration.

The sutures are paired with Reverse Cutting (C-18) needles, designed for optimal precision and passage through soft tissue.

Key specifications for the included needles are:

• Needle Type: Reverse Cutting (C-18)
• Needle Length: 35 mm

This configuration is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, suitable for demanding surgical fields including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Each case (cs) of the MONOSOF Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures contains 36 sterile suture units (or packets).

Yes, these Monosof Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures are available in black.

This color is strategically applied to provide high contrast against soft tissue surfaces, which may aid visibility and improve the tracking and precise manipulation of the suture strand during critical operative procedures.

Yes, Monosof sutures offer excellent knot security, ensuring that the suture holds firmly during and after the surgical procedure. The advanced extrusion process contributes to snug and flattened knots.

Yes, Medtronic Monosof Dermalon Monofilament Nylon Sutures are nonabsorbable. They are composed of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6, designed to maintain their integrity and strength over time for long-term tissue approximation.

Yes, these sutures are manufactured in the US, ensuring high-quality standards through an advanced extrusion process.
