Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 4 - 0 Monofilament

Monoderm absorbable suture with needle is a polyglycolic acid monofilament suture paired with a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers looking for a suture for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation may choose it for consistent needle strength and durability through repeated passes. The needle also has a non-reflective finish to help it stand out under bright surgical lights.

Good Fit For

• Subcuticular closure
• Soft tissue approximation
• Surgical settings with bright overhead lighting

Key Features

• Absorbable polyglycolic acid monofilament suture for closure workflows where absorption is desired
• 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle supports controlled tissue passage
• Commonly used for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation
• Retains 64 to 76 percent tensile strength at 7 days and 40 percent at 14 days
• Essentially absorbed at 90 days
• Non-reflective needle finish helps visibility under bright surgical lights

Applications and Usage

• Supporting subcuticular closure procedures
• Approximating soft tissue during suturing
• Workflows where a reverse cutting needle is preferred
• Cases where lower needle glare can help visibility under surgical lights

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• Tensile strength changes over time, with 64 to 76 percent retention at 7 days and 40 percent at 14 days.
• The suture is essentially absorbed at 90 days, which may matter when selecting an absorbable option.
• A reverse cutting needle is part of this configuration, so buyers should confirm it matches their preferred suturing technique.
