Description

The Undyed ETHICON™ MONOCRYL™ Monofilament Absorbable Suture, 4-0, 27", PS-1 needle, is a synthetic suture composed of poliglecaprone 25. It is engineered for consistent tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity, making it a reliable choice for soft tissue approximation and ligation in areas that heal quickly. Its monofilament structure minimizes drag and tissue trauma during placement.

The Undyed MONOCRYL™ suture’s smooth passage through tissue, excellent pliability, and secure knot holding reduce the risk of tissue damage and ensure precise wound closure. Its reverse cutting needle (PS-1, 3/8 circle) provides optimal penetration through tough or dense tissues, such as skin and fascia.

Common applications include subcuticular skin closure, bladder repair, gastrointestinal tract procedures, reproductive tissue approximation, and pediatric surgeries. It is not suitable for cardiovascular, ophthalmic, or neurological tissues, or where prolonged wound support is required due to its fast absorption profile.
