Healthium (Sutures India) Monoglyde code SN 1326, length 70 cm, needle 3/8 Circle Precision Cutting Trusharp, needle length 25 mm, box of 12

• A synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture
• Minimal, less reactive scar with excellent cosmesis
• Significant initial tensile strength
• Predictable absorption
• Due to its smooth texture, the suture glides through the tissue easily
• Exceptional pliability, soft and smooth

Monoglyde is ideal approximation material for subcuticular closure. It has low tissue reactivity and maintains 50% – 60% in-vivo tensile strength at 7 days and 20% – 30% at 2 weeks. It provides wound support of 3 – 4 weeks, a good enough time period for skin healing. The total absorption in tissues takes around 90 – 120 days.

• Used for subcuticular repair and general soft-tissue approximation
• Bowel anastomoses
• Closure of the peritoneum
• Closure of uterus and vaginal cuff
• Not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery
• Since this is an relatively fast absorbable suture, it should not be used for extended approximation of tissue (fascia)

• Monofilament
• Poliglecaprone 25
• Synthetic absorbable suture
• Sterilized by ethylene oxide
• Shelf life of 3 years
