Description

The Undyed Ethicon Monocryl Monofilament Absorbable Prime Reverse Cutting 3/8C 5-0 PS-2 18" Suture, manufactured by Ethicon, is a versatile surgical tool suitable for general soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Composed of Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25), this monofilament suture is absorbable, exhibiting low tissue reactivity while providing long-lasting tensile strength.

Its unique design reduces the likelihood of exiting through the skin after breakdown compared to some other sutures, offering enhanced reliability during wound healing. It demonstrates less tissue reaction than chromic gut, with minimal tissue drag and no fraying. Commonly used in various surgical procedures including bladder, gastro-intestinal, subcuticular closure, reproductive tract, and fascia closure, particularly in young, healthy, fast-healing animals.

With a loss of 60-70% tensile strength after 1 week and complete mass absorption in 91-119 days, this suture ensures effective wound closure and healing. Packaged conveniently in sets of 12 each within 1 dozen boxes, Ethicon guarantees consistent quality and reliability with the Undyed Ethicon Monocryl Monofilament Suture.
