Synthetic Absorbable Monofilament Poliglecaprone

A synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture Minimal, less reactive scar with excellent cosmesis Significant initial tensile strength Predictable absorption Due to its smooth texture, the suture glides through the tissue easily Exceptional pliability, soft and supple Trupass coated needle for easy penetration and extended smooth-ness Monoglyde is ideal approximation material for subcuticular closure. It has low tissue reactivity and maintains 50% – 60% in-vivo tensile strength at 7 days and 20% – 30% at 2 weeks. It provides wound support of 3 – 4 weeks, a good enough time period for skin healing. The total absorption in tissues takes around 90 – 120 days. APPLICATIONS Used for subcuticular repair and general soft-tissue approximation Bowel anastomoses Closure of the peritoneum Closure of uterus and vaginal cuff Not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery Since this is an absorbable suture, it should not be used for extended approximation of tissue (fascia) TECHNICAL DETAILS Monofilament Poliglecaprone 25 Synthetic absorbable suture Available in undyed and violet color Sterilized by ethylene oxide Shelf life of 3 years RANGE USP sizes available: 5-0 to 2; 6-0 also available Length available with needle: 35 cm to 150 cm Needle length: 13 mm to 60 mm across all needle point profiles
