Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid DSM13 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 5 - 0 Monofilament

Monoderm absorbable suture with needle is a monofilament polyglycolic acid suture paired with a DSM13 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers often choose it for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation where predictable absorption and reliable needle performance matter. The suture retains 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days, 40% at 14 days, and is essentially absorbed at 90 days.

Good Fit For

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

Key Features

• Absorbable monofilament polyglycolic acid suture for soft tissue closure
• DSM13 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle supports controlled passage through tissue
• Tensile strength retention profile helps support closure in the early healing period
• Essentially absorbed at 90 days for procedures where absorbable support is preferred
• Commonly used for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation
• Non-reflective needle finish is easier to distinguish under bright surgical lights

Applications and Usage

• Closing subcuticular incisions
• Approximating soft tissue during surgical procedures
• Procedures where an absorbable monofilament suture is preferred

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• Absorption and tensile strength change over time, so match the support profile to the procedure.
• A reverse cutting needle may be preferred when tissue handling calls for that needle style.
• The non-reflective needle finish can help visibility under strong operating lights.
