Description

  • Monosof monofilament nylon sutures are inert, nonabsorbable, sterile surgical sutures composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and are available either dyed black with logwood extract or undyed (clear)
  • Monosof sutures maintain a high level of elasticity after implantation while eliciting a low inflammatory response
  • Monosof sutures are used in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation

Frequently asked questions

Is this suture suitable for skin closures?

Yes, the Monosof nylon suture is specifically designed for soft tissue approximation, making it an excellent choice for skin incisions and general surgical ligation.

Why is the P-13 needle preferred?

The P-13 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle is engineered to provide controlled and accurate tissue penetration while minimizing trauma at the entry point, which is essential for delicate surgical procedures.

Does this suture cause tissue irritation?

No, it is engineered from inert, long-chain aliphatic polymers (Nylon 6) to ensure a low inflammatory response and minimize the risk of foreign body reactions in patients.

How does the suture handle movement during healing?

The Monosof suture features high elasticity, allowing it to accommodate natural tissue movement while maintaining consistent tensile support throughout the healing process.

Is this a single-use device?

Yes, this product is strictly a single-use, sterile device. Please consult the accompanying clinical documentation for proper handling and disposal protocols.

Is the material absorbable?

No, this is a nonabsorbable monofilament nylon suture designed for long-term stability when left in place for soft tissue support.

How many strands are in a pack?

Each package contains 12 individual strands, each pre-attached to a precision needle and individually sterile-packed.

What is the total length of each suture?

Each suture strand is 18 inches long, providing ample length for standard surgical ligation and suturing tasks.

Does the suture require a special coating?

No, these Monosof sutures are uncoated. The monofilament nylon construction is smooth by design to allow for easy passage through tissue with minimal drag.

Is it visible during surgery?

Yes, the suture is black in color, which provides high contrast against tissue for better visibility during delicate surgical procedures.
