Ethicon Monocryl Absorbable Sutures

Description

Ethicon Monocryl Suture
MONOCRYL Sutures are a highly pliable monofilament suture that handles and ties easily, is virtually inert in tissue, and absorbs predictably. High initial tensile strength diminishes over 2 weeks postoperatively. Monocryl sutures are prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone.

MONOCRYL Sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where an absorbable material is indicated.

These sutures (dyed and undyed), being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissues under stress is required. Monocryl UNDYED must not be used to close fascial tissue.

Monocryl Sutures are available in the following types:

Thread Thickness – 3-0, 4-0, 5-0
Thread Length – 45cm, 70cm
Needle Length – 13mm, 16mm, 19mm
Circle – 3/8c
Cross Section – Conventional Cuting, Reverse Cutting
