Description

The Monocryl Undyed 5-0 27 RB1 Suture is a synthetic, absorbable suture designed to provide reliable and secure closure with minimal tissue reaction. Its taper point needle ensures smooth insertion through tissues with less resistance, making it ideal for delicate surgical procedures. Compared to chromic gut sutures, Monocryl offers reduced tissue reaction, less drag, and no fraying, which contributes to enhanced patient outcomes and faster healing.

This suture is commonly used in a variety of surgical applications, including bladder, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tract procedures. It is also suitable for subcuticular closures and fascia closure/linea alba in young, healthy, and fast-healing animals. The Monocryl suture's versatility and performance make it a preferred choice for soft tissue surgeries where a non-irritating, quick-healing material is required.

After 1 week, Monocryl loses approximately 60-70% of its tensile strength, and its complete absorption occurs within 91 to 119 days. This predictable absorption timeline helps ensure that the suture is absorbed as the healing process progresses, reducing the need for suture removal and minimizing the risk of complications.
