Description

Monocryl Undyed Suture, 14 cm x 14 cm, PS-2, Size 4-0, 5", is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture made from poliglecaprone 25. The undyed characteristic minimizes visibility in superficial and cosmetic closures, promoting improved aesthetic outcomes. The suture is designed for smooth passage through tissue, reducing drag and limiting tissue trauma during wound closure.

The suture features a precision reverse cutting PS-2 needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, facilitating accurate and controlled needle penetration with minimal tissue resistance. This needle design supports efficient suturing in delicate or confined surgical sites, improving overall handling and placement precision.

Monocryl maintains tensile strength sufficient to support wound edges for 1 to 2 weeks, providing essential support during the initial healing phase. The suture undergoes hydrolytic degradation with complete absorption occurring between 90 and 120 days. This absorption profile eliminates the need for suture removal, reducing patient discomfort and follow-up care.
