Description

Monoderm 6-0 Undyed 1X18 P-3 suture is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament designed for precision in soft tissue approximation. It features a precision reverse cutting needle, ensuring smooth penetration through tissue while minimizing trauma. The monofilament structure reduces capillarity, decreasing the risk of bacterial infiltration and promoting a lower tissue reaction.

The suture retains 64-76% of its original tensile strength at seven days, providing adequate wound support during the early healing phase. By 14 days, approximately 40% of its strength remains, allowing for continued tissue support as healing progresses. Complete absorption occurs within 90 days through hydrolysis, eliminating the need for suture removal. The absorption process results in minimal inflammatory response, making it suitable for delicate tissue closures.

Its handling characteristics make it a preferred choice for subcuticular closures and soft tissue approximation. The suture offers excellent knot security, ensuring firm wound closure with fewer knots. Its smooth passage through tissue reduces drag, which helps maintain tissue integrity and minimize scarring.
