Description

The Monocryl Plus Suture, Undyed, Size 4-0, 27", with an RB-1 Needle, is a monofilament, absorbable surgical suture designed for procedures requiring minimal tissue reaction and fast healing. This suture is particularly suited for high-risk patients or procedures where bacterial presence is a concern, as it is coated with an antibacterial agent that helps reduce the risk of infection during the healing process.

Monocryl Plus maintains 50-60% of its tensile strength after one week and 60-70% after the first few days, ensuring secure wound closure during the critical initial stages of healing. Its gradual loss of strength allows the wound to bear load naturally as it heals, providing essential short-term support while the tissue regains strength.

The suture’s monofilament structure offers excellent pliability, which allows for smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma. Its design also ensures ease of handling during surgical procedures, making it easier for surgeons to place precise knots with minimal effort.

The combination of smooth handling, antibacterial protection, and controlled absorption makes Monocryl Plus ideal for soft tissue approximation and ligation in various types of surgeries, particularly where infection prevention is critical. It is well-suited for skin closures, gynecological procedures, and other surgeries requiring reliable wound support.
