Raw Material:

• Copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone

Tensile strength retention in vivo;

• Dyed - approx 60-70% remains at 1 weeks, approx 30 -40% remains at 2 weeks, lost within 4 weeks.
• Undyed - approx 50-60% remains at 1 week, approx 20-30% remains at 2 weeks, lost within 4 weeks

Absorption Rate;

• Complete at 91-119 days, absorbed by hydrolysis
• MONOCRYL Sutures is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. MONOCRYL Sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.
