Monofast suture 1 50mm 1/2 90cm
Absorbable suture with synthetic monofilament fiber of length and violet color. It features a 50mm, USP 1 - 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle, and a length of 90cm.
Absorbable Monofast surgical sutures with 50mm, USP metric 1 and 1/2 circle curve reverse cutting needle. The monofilament violet fiber of 90cm length makes the Monofast monofilament absorbable surgical suture suitable 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 monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction which is followed by the development of fibrous connective tissue in place.
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.
The absorption of the Monofast surgical suture is essentially completed after a period of 90- 110 days. Its original tensile strength is essentially lost 28 days after its implantation.
