Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle Size 6 - 0 Monofilament

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

Good Fit For

• Subcuticular closure
• Soft tissue approximation
• Surgical settings with bright operating lights

Key Features

• Polyglycolic acid monofilament suture for absorbable wound closure needs
• 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle supports precise tissue passage
• Useful for 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 suture workflows
• Non-reflective needle finish helps visibility under bright surgical lights

Applications and Usage

• Closing subcuticular incisions
• Approximating soft tissue during surgical procedures
• Choosing an absorbable monofilament suture when staged tensile strength retention is important

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• The reverse cutting needle and monofilament construction may influence handling preference and tissue selection.
• Strength retention changes over time, so match the absorption profile to the closure timeline you need.

FAQ

• What type of needle comes with this suture? This suture uses a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle.
• Where is this suture commonly used? Product details indicate it is popular for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation.
• How long does this absorbable suture retain strength? Product details state it retains 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days and 40% at 14 days.
• When is the suture absorbed? Product details say the suture is essentially absorbed at 90 days.
• Does the needle help with visibility under surgical lights? Yes. The needle has a non-reflective finish that makes it easier to distinguish under bright surgical lights.
