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 monofilament suture paired with a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers may choose it for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation where predictable tensile strength retention and absorption profile matter. Source details note 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days, 40% at 14 days, and absorption at about 90 days.

Good Fit For

• Subcuticular closure
• Soft tissue approximation
• Settings with bright surgical lighting

Key Features

• Monofilament absorbable suture for closure workflows that call for gradual absorption
• 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle supports controlled tissue passage
• Source details cite 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days and 40% at 14 days
• Essentially absorbed at 90 days for procedures that benefit from an absorbable suture
• Commonly chosen for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation
• Non-reflective needle finish helps visibility under bright surgical lights

Applications and Usage

• Closing subcuticular tissue with an absorbable monofilament suture
• Soft tissue approximation where tensile strength retention over the first two weeks is relevant
• Procedures where a non-reflective needle may be easier to see under surgical lights

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• This suture is absorbable, with source details indicating absorption at about 90 days.
• The tensile strength profile changes over time, so timeline needs should be reviewed before selection.
• A reverse cutting needle may be preferred when that needle style matches the intended closure technique.

FAQ

• What needle style comes with this suture? This Monoderm suture comes with a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle.
• Is this an absorbable suture? Yes. Source details describe this as an absorbable suture that is essentially absorbed at 90 days.
• What procedures is this suture commonly used for? Source details say this suture is very popular for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation.
• How does the tensile strength change over time? Source details report 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days and 40% at 14 days.
• Does the needle help with visibility under strong lights? Yes. The needle has a non-reflective finish that the source says makes it easier to distinguish under bright surgical lights.
