Ethicon, a leader in medical supplies, offers MONOCRYL Suture, a synthetic absorbable sterile suture composed of copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone
Predictable breaking strength retention (BSR) profile to provide support for up to 14 days post-implantation while tissues heal
MONOCRYL Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery. In vivo studies demonstrate that MONOCRYL suture retains approximately 50 to 60% of its original strength 7 days post-implantation, and approximately 20 to 30% of its original tensile strength at 14 days post-implantation.
