Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid DSM19 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 3 - 0 Monofilament

Monoderm absorbable suture with needle is a monofilament polyglycolic acid suture paired with a DSM19 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers may choose it for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation where absorbable support is preferred. Product details note 64 to 76% tensile strength retention at 7 days, 40% at 14 days, and essential absorption at 90 days.

Good Fit For

• Subcuticular closure
• Soft tissue approximation
• Procedure rooms with bright surgical lighting

Key Features

• Absorbable monofilament polyglycolic acid suture for procedures where temporary wound support is needed
• DSM19 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle supports controlled passage through tissue
• Tensile strength retention is 64 to 76% at 7 days and 40% at 14 days for predictable early support
• Essentially absorbed at 90 days, which may suit workflows that call for an absorbable suture
