Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 5 - 0 Monofilament

Monoderm absorbable suture with needle is a monofilament suture paired with a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. It is a practical choice for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation where buyers want an absorbable option for surgical use. Product details note 64 to 76% tensile strength retention at 7 days, 40% at 14 days, and absorption that is essentially complete at 90 days.

Good Fit For

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

Key Features

• Absorbable monofilament suture for procedures where follow-up removal is not desired
• 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle supports controlled tissue passage
• Well suited to subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation
• Retains 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days and 40% at 14 days
• Essentially absorbed at 90 days for absorbable wound closure workflows
• Non-reflective needle finish helps visibility under bright surgical lights

Applications and Usage

• Closing subcuticular tissue layers with an absorbable monofilament suture
• Approximating soft tissue when a reverse cutting needle is preferred
• Procedures where reduced needle glare can help under bright surgical lights

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• Tensile strength changes over time, with 64 to 76% retained at 7 days and 40% at 14 days.
• Absorption is essentially complete at 90 days, which may affect procedure-specific suture selection.
• Needle type is reverse cutting, so buyers should confirm it matches the intended tissue and technique.
