J & J Healthcare Systems Absorbable Suture with Needle Monocryl™ Poliglecaprone P-1 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 6 - 0 Monofilament

Absorbable Suture with Needle Monocryl™ Poliglecaprone P-1 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 6 - 0 Monofilament

Monocryl absorbable suture with needle is a monofilament poliglecaprone suture paired with a P-1 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers may choose it for procedures where a reverse cutting needle and absorbable monofilament construction fit the workflow, including bladder, gastro-intestinal, subcuticular closure, reproductive tract, and fascia closure or linea alba in young, healthy, fast healing animals. This version has an 11 mm needle, size 6 - 0 suture, and an 18 inch undyed strand.

Good Fit For

• Subcuticular closure
• Bladder procedures
• Gastro-intestinal procedures
• Reproductive tract and fascia closure or linea alba in young, healthy, fast healing animals

Key Features

• Absorbable monofilament poliglecaprone suture for workflows that call for an absorbable synthetic strand
• P-1 precision reverse cutting needle helps support needle-specific procedural preference
• 11 mm 3/8 circle stainless steel needle offers a compact curved needle format
• Size 6 - 0 suture with 18 inch length suits fine closure needs where this size and length are preferred
• Undyed, uncoated strand with less tissue drag and no fraying compared with chromic gut
• Tensile strength decreases 60 to 70 percent after 1 week, with complete mass absorption in 91 to 119 days
