Description
Suture, Monocryl Undyed 6-0 18 PC1 is a sterile, synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polyglecaprone 25. This material is derived from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone, designed to provide high tensile strength and predictable absorption rates. The undyed nature of Monocryl minimizes tissue reactivity, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
The suture's monofilament structure enhances its smooth passage through tissue, reducing tissue trauma during placement and removal. The 6-0 size and 18-inch length, paired with the PC1 needle, make it suitable for delicate surgical procedures requiring fine suturing, such as ophthalmic and vascular surgeries. The PC1 needle features a precision cutting edge and a 3/8 circle shape, facilitating precise tissue penetration and knot tying.
Monocryl Undyed 6-0 18 PC1 is particularly favored in procedures where an absorbable suture with minimal tissue reaction is beneficial. It is commonly used in subcuticular closures and other procedures where cosmesis and wound healing are critical. The suture's absorption typically occurs over 90 to 120 days, ensuring adequate wound support during the critical healing period without the need for suture removal.
