Description

Monocryl Plus Suture, PS-2, Violet, Size 4-0, 18" is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture designed for use in surgical procedures where infection risk is elevated. Its antibacterial properties make it particularly suitable for high-risk patients or operations involving contaminated or potentially contaminated tissue. The violet color enhances visibility during surgery, facilitating precise handling.

This suture exhibits significant tensile strength, retaining 50-60% of its strength at one week and 60-70% shortly thereafter, providing reliable wound support during the critical initial healing phase. The suture undergoes complete hydrolytic absorption within 91 to 119 days, minimizing long-term foreign body presence and reducing tissue reaction.

Monocryl Plus demonstrates excellent pliability, allowing smooth and even passage through tissue with minimal resistance. This characteristic reduces tissue trauma and enhances surgeon control. The monofilament structure offers reduced tissue drag compared to braided sutures, further promoting gentle handling of delicate tissues.
