No. The Monosof nylon is composed of inert long-chain aliphatic polymers (Nylon 6), which are specifically engineered to elicit a minimal inflammatory response in the body.
Is the material flexible after surgery?
Yes. One of the key benefits of this suture is its high elasticity, which is maintained even after implantation to ensure the closure remains secure and stable.
Why use a reverse cutting needle?
The precision reverse cutting needle is designed to provide controlled penetration and minimize tissue trauma during the suturing process.
