Ethicon MONOCRYL Poliglecaprone 25 Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture W3727
The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ Violet Absorbable Monofilament Suture W3727 is a sterile synthetic absorbable surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, a copolymer of glycolide and ε-caprolactone.
MONOCRYL™ sutures are designed to provide excellent handling, smooth tissue passage and reliable knot security, making them suitable for a wide range of soft tissue approximation procedures.
The monofilament structure helps reduce tissue drag and minimises the risk of bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.
MONOCRYL™ is dyed violet using D&C Violet No.2, providing excellent visibility during surgical procedures. The suture is also available in undyed versions depending on surgical preference.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been shown to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with only minimal tissue reaction during the absorption process.
MONOCRYL™ sutures are commonly used for soft tissue approximation and ligation, including procedures in general surgery, plastic surgery and subcuticular skin closure.
The suture is supplied attached to an MO-45 stainless steel needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.
MONOCRYL™ complies with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and United States Pharmacopoeia for absorbable surgical sutures.
