Description

The Monosof™ Monofilament Nylon Suture, Size 5/0, 18", with a P-13 needle, is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polyamides, specifically Nylon 6. The black coloration, derived from logwood extract, enhances visibility during placement and suturing precision in delicate surgical fields.

Monosof™ sutures are characterized by their low tissue reactivity. The synthetic polyamide material maintains a consistent profile post-implantation with minimal degradation, enabling long-term support in cases where absorbable sutures are not suitable. The suture does not undergo significant encapsulation or structural alteration, providing predictable performance.

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, this suture is used in a broad range of surgical disciplines, including dermatologic, ophthalmic, plastic, and microsurgical applications. Its biocompatibility, durability, and handling characteristics make it an appropriate choice for procedures requiring extended wound support with minimal biological interference.
