Monofast suture 5/0 18mm 3/8 75cm Diamond point

Absorbable monofilament sutures with 18mm 5/0 - 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle and violet fiber of 75cm length. Available per piece. The implantation of the Monofast Diamond point monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction which is followed by the development of fibrous connective tissue in place.

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 Diamond point 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 suture is essentially completed after a period of 90 - 110 days. Its original tensile strength is essentially lost 28 days after its implantation. Monofilament, violet, synthetic absorbable, polyglycolic acid-co-polycaprolactone surgical suture - PGCL.
