Ethicon Monocryl Suture

Ethicon Monocryl (Poliglecaprone 25) is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in subcuticular and dermal closures. It offers smooth passage through tissue, minimal tissue reactivity, and excellent cosmetic outcomes. Monocryl maintains high initial tensile strength and undergoes predictable hydrolytic absorption within 91–119 days. Its monofilament structure reduces the risk of infection and provides superior handling and knot security.

Key Features:

1. Absorbable: Fully absorbed via hydrolysis, eliminating the need for removal.

2. Poliglecaprone 25 Composition: Combines glycolide and ε-caprolactone for flexibility and strength.

3. Monofilament Structure: Minimizes tissue trauma and reduces bacterial adherence.

4. High Initial Tensile Strength: Maintains wound support during critical healing period.

5. Smooth Handling: Excellent pliability and reliable knot security for precise closure.
