Monofast sutures

Monofast sutures are the ideal choice for medical professionals looking for high quality, absorbable surgical sutures. Manufactured with advanced technology, Monofast offers reliable performance and maximum safety in every surgical procedure. Their monoclonal construction ensures smooth tissue penetration and reduces the risk of infection combined with their copolymer of polyglycolic acid-co-polycaprolactone (PGCL) composition.

Monofast sutures are designed with high quality materials to provide excellent durability and are ideal for various surgical procedures. The materials are fully absorbable, eliminating the need for suture removal and the smooth surface reduces resistance to penetration and allows for easier insertion and adjustment. 

Monofast sutures come with several technical features that make them ideal for a variety of surgical applications. They are available either undyed or dyed in violet, in a wide variety of diameter and length combinations, adapted to needles of various sizes and types, and made of high quality medical stainless steel.

Needle lengths range from 19mm to 40mm, providing detailed and precise use options. Needle curvature is 3/8 or 1/2 circle, depending on the needs of the procedure, ensuring smooth tissue penetration. Sutures come in various lengths, from 45cm to 150cm, to meet any surgical requirement. In addition, Monofast sutures are available in various diameters, from USP 5/0 to USP 2, offering flexibility and precision in use.

The selection of Monofast synthetic monofilament absorbable surgical sutures is determined by factors such as the patient's condition, the tissue and wound size, and the surgeon's technique and expertise.

The implantation of the synthetic absorbable surgical suture Monofast initially induces a mild local tissue inflammatory reaction, typical of the response to a foreign body, followed by the corresponding local growth of fibrous connective tissue. The suture then gradually loses its strength and mass through the process of hydrolysis, during which it is converted into adipic acid which is eventually absorbed and fully metabolized in the tissues. During the absorption of Monofast suture, an initial decrease in strength is observed without significant loss of mass.

Monofast sutures deliver the following advantages: smooth passage through the tissue, minimized tissue drug and trauma, high straight-pull tensile and breaking strength, minimized tissue reaction, no need for a removal session, resistance to microbial incubation, softer texture than other monofast sutures, good knot security, and full biocompatibility.

Monofast sutures are suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including general surgery, orthopedic, gynecological, and plastic surgery. In addition, the most common uses for Monofast sutures are general surgery (tintracutaneous, subcutaneous), skin, mucosa, fascia, oral and maxillofacial surgery, ophthalmology, pediatric cardiovascular tissue, ligament, and tendon repair.
