Description
Suture, Monocryl Violet 5-0 18 P3 is an advanced surgical suture designed for precise and effective closure in various medical procedures. Monocryl, a brand name for poliglecaprone, is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture that offers excellent handling and reduced tissue reaction compared to traditional materials like chromic gut. Its violet color enhances visibility during surgery, ensuring accuracy in suturing delicate tissues.
The suture is commonly used for bladder, gastrointestinal, and subcuticular closures, as well as in reproductive tract and fascia closure procedures. Its low tissue drag and resistance to fraying make it ideal for surgeries involving young, healthy, and rapidly healing tissues. Monocryl’s unique properties allow it to maintain strength for up to one week, with a loss of 60-70% tensile strength during this period.
Complete absorption of the Monocryl suture occurs within 91-119 days, providing adequate time for tissue healing before the suture is fully resorbed. The reverse cutting needle design further enhances precision by minimizing tissue damage, making this suture a reliable choice for a wide range of surgical applications.
