Frequently asked questions
Is this suture safe for long-term tissue support?
Yes, Monosof is a nonabsorbable nylon suture specifically engineered to be chemically inert. This ensures it does not degrade within the body, providing secure, long-term tissue approximation with minimal inflammatory response.
Why is the monofilament construction preferred?
The monofilament design, combined with the black-dyed nylon, offers high visibility during complex surgical procedures. Being a single strand, it also minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of tissue reaction compared to braided alternatives.
What tissues is this C-1 needle best for?
The C-1 3/8 circle Taper Cutting needle is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is optimized to provide the precise geometry needed for effective penetration and clean results in various soft tissue types.
Are these sutures sterile?
Yes, all Monosof sutures are manufactured to professional medical standards and are provided as sterile, factory-new products to ensure patient safety.
Does the suture provide good flexibility?
Absolutely. A key feature of the Monosof nylon material is its high elasticity. It maintains consistent tension and flexibility even after implantation, which is vital for reliable wound closure performance.
How many sutures are in a pack?
Each unit includes a 36-strand pack, ensuring you have an ample supply for your surgical requirements.
Does the needle come pre-attached?
Yes, each suture comes with a high-quality, stainless steel Taper Cutting needle already attached, ready for immediate use in sterile surgical environments.
How long is each individual suture?
Each individual suture strand in this pack is 18 inches long, providing the ideal length for most standard ligation and approximation tasks.
Can I use these for delicate soft tissue work?
Yes, these are professional-grade tools designed for general soft tissue approximation. The combination of the inert nylon material and the precise Taper Cutting needle geometry makes them suitable for standard surgical closures.
Is this a 4-0 size suture?
Yes, this specific variant is a 4-0 sized monofilament suture, featuring a 13 mm Taper Cutting needle.
