Description
The Monocryl Undyed Suture, sized 5-0 with an 18mm Precision Point needle (abbreviated as 5-0, 18 PC1), is a specialized medical thread used for suturing wounds during surgical procedures. Monocryl is a synthetic absorbable material that provides excellent tensile strength while being gradually absorbed by the body over time.
With a thickness of 5-0, this suture is suitable for fine and delicate wound closure, offering a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma. The 18mm Precision Point needle enhances precision during suturing, making it suitable for various surgical applications.
The undyed nature of the Monocryl suture provides optimal visibility against various tissue types, aiding surgeons in maintaining accuracy during the suturing process. The suture's absorbable nature eliminates the need for removal, contributing to patient comfort and reducing the risk of suture-related complications.
Healthcare professionals appreciate the Monocryl Undyed Suture (5-0, 18 PC1) for its absorbable nature, strength, and visibility, making it a valuable choice for fine wound closure in surgical settings.
MONOCRYL (poliglecaprone 25) suture is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. MONOCRYL sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.
