Description

Monocryl Plus Suture, size 6-0, is a monofilament synthetic absorbable suture designed for use in surgical procedures requiring high precision and minimal tissue trauma. It is particularly suitable for high-risk patients or cases where bacterial contamination is a concern due to its antimicrobial properties. 

The suture demonstrates significant tensile strength retention, maintaining 50-60% to 60-70% strength after one week of implantation. This characteristic supports reliable wound closure during the critical early phases of healing. Complete absorption of the suture material occurs within 91 to 119 days, providing adequate support for tissue recovery while minimizing long-term foreign body presence.

Monocryl Plus offers great pliability, facilitating smooth and even passage through tissue. This flexibility reduces tissue trauma during placement and promotes efficient surgical handling. The monofilament structure also minimizes bacterial adherence, further enhancing its suitability for potentially contaminated environments.
