Description

Stratafix Monocryl Synthetic Absorbable Suture, Undyed, PS-2, Size 4-0, 18" L, is a monofilament barbed suture designed for knotless tissue closure. Manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, it offers controlled degradation through hydrolysis. The undyed material ensures minimal visibility in superficial or cosmetic closures, supporting a clean aesthetic outcome.

The spiral barbed design enables the suture to anchor securely within tissue layers, eliminating the need for knots. This configuration promotes even tension distribution and reduces the risk of slippage or uneven wound approximation. The PS-2 needle, a precision reverse cutting needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, ensures smooth penetration and precise tissue handling.

Stratafix Monocryl maintains sufficient tensile strength for 1 to 2 weeks, allowing for reliable tissue support during the early stages of wound healing. Its full absorption occurs within 90 to 120 days, reducing the need for suture removal and minimizing patient follow-up requirements. The degradation timeline is well-suited for soft tissue closures where long-term support is unnecessary.
