MONOCRYL - Absorbable Sterile Surgical Suture

Ethicon Monocryl sutures (polyglecaprone 25) are absorbable monofilament synthetic sutures composed of a copolymer made by synthesis of glycolide (75%) and epsilon caprolactone (25%).

Ethicon Monocryl sutures are indicated for sutures and ligatures of vessels and soft tissues; They are not particularly indicated in cardiovascular and neurological surgery, microsurgery and ophthalmic surgery.
Due to its absorbability characteristics, this type of suture should not be used where prolonged approach of the tissues is required, especially under tension (e.g. the fascia).

Through hydrolysis, there is a progressive loss of tensile strength with possible absorption of the Monocryl suture. The absorption process begins with the loss of tensile strength followed by a decrease in mass.

Complete absorption in 91-119 days


Monocryl sutures are indicated in the treatment of soft tissue approach and/or ligation but never in vascular, neurological, ophthalmic and microsurgical surgery.
