Key Features
Knotless Tissue Control: Features a unidirectional spiral anchor design that allows for consistent tension and tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.
Plus Antibacterial Technology: Coated with Triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonization on the suture, reducing a known risk factor for surgical site infections.
Monocryl™ Composition: Constructed from Poliglecaprone 25, a synthetic absorbable monofilament that provides high initial tensile strength and smooth passage through delicate tissue.
Predictable Absorption Profile: Engineered for short-term tissue support, retaining approximately 50%–60% of its breaking strength at one week and 20%–30% at two weeks.
Integrated Fixation Loop: Includes a preformed loop at the end of the suture, allowing for easy and secure anchoring at the start of the incision line.
Premium Reverse Cutting Needle: Equipped with a 19mm, 3/8 circle PS-2 PRIME™ needle designed for superior sharpness and durability during subcuticular dermis closures.
Efficiency and Speed: Combines the security of interrupted closure with the speed of a continuous stitch, significantly reducing overall operative time.
Undyed Monofilament: The 4-0 size, 12-inch (30 cm) suture is undyed, making it ideal for cosmetic closures where visibility through the skin must be minimized.
Total Absorption: The material is fully absorbed by the body through hydrolysis within a window of 90 to 120 days.
