Peters Surgical Monocol Suture 5-0 - SFN9523A Pack of 12

Monocol : Sterile Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Suture made of Polydioxanone to form a strong pliable Violet suture. It is effective where long
term wound support or extended wound support is required up to 55-58 days. It retains 50% of its initial tensile strength
after 28 days, 25% after 45 days and is completely absorbed between
180 to 210 days.
USP sizes available 1 to 6/0

Monocol is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament
suture formed by polymerising the monomer Polydioxanone
to form a strong pliable monofilament

Monofilament Polydioxanone (PDO) suture is a synthetic, absorbable
surgical thread used for wound closure. Composed of the polymer
polydioxanone, this suture type is monofilament, meaning it consists of a
single strand, reducing tissue trauma during placement. Polydioxanone
is known for its high tensile strength, which ensures secure wound
closure, and its absorption occurs through hydrolysis. PDO sutures are
commonly used in various surgical specialties, including dermatology and
general surgery, where an absorbable suture with extended tensile
strength is required for prolonged wound support. These sutures
contribute to effective wound healing and eliminate the need for suture
removal. Specific characteristics may vary based on the manufacturer and
product specifications.
