Description

The Monocryl Undyed 6-0 18 P3 Suture is an advanced monofilament suture designed for precision and minimal tissue reaction. Featuring a reverse cutting needle, this suture is ideal for a variety of surgical applications including bladder, gastro-intestinal, subcuticular closure, reproductive tract, and fascia closure in young, healthy animals.

With less tissue reaction compared to chromic gut sutures, Monocryl Undyed 6-0 18 P3 is well-suited for procedures requiring high precision and minimal inflammation. The suture maintains its strength with a loss of 60-70% tensile strength after one week, which provides adequate support during the initial healing phase.

Complete mass absorption occurs within 91-119 days, allowing for gradual dissolution without the need for suture removal. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in reducing patient discomfort and simplifying postoperative care. Monocryl Undyed 6-0 18 P3 combines superior handling characteristics with reliable absorption, making it a versatile choice for delicate and demanding surgical procedures.

• For general soft-tissue approximation and ligation
• Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25) is a monofilament suture thats both absorbable, with low tissue reactivity, and synthetic for long-lasting tensile strength
• Less likely to exit through the skin after breakdown that some other sutures
