Monofast suture 6/0 12mm 3/8 45cm
Absorbable suture with synthetic monofilament fiber of length 45cm and undyed or violet color, featuring a 12mm 6/0 - 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, available per piece.
Synthetic absorbable sutures Monofast with 12mm needle length, USP size 6/0 and 3/8 circle curve. The reverse cutting needle and monofilament violet or undyed fiber of 45cm length make the Monofast absorbable surgical suture ideal for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular tissues and tissues of the central nervous system and also in microsurgery and ophthalmic surgery.
The implantation of the Monofast absorbable surgical suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction which is followed by the development of fibrous connective tissue in place. The absorption of the suture is essentially completed after a period of 90- 110 days. Its original tensile strength is essentially lost 28 days after its implantation.
The progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of the suture occurs by means of hydrolysis, where the polymer degrades to adipic acid which is subsequently absorbed and metabolized by the tissues.
Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. The retention of the monofast suture is 68-78% of the original tensile strength after the 1st week and approximately 30% after the end of the 2nd week.
