Surgical Specialties Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid DSM19 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 4 - 0 Monofilament

Absorbable Suture with Needle Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid DSM19 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 4 - 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 looking for an absorbable option for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation may find it a practical fit for surgical workflows that need controlled handling and dependable needle performance. Product details note tensile strength retention at 7 and 14 days, with essential absorption at 90 days.

Good Fit For

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

Key Features

• Absorbable monofilament polyglycolic acid suture for procedures where absorption over time is desired
• DSM19 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle supports tissue penetration in closure work
• Suitable for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation based on stated product details
• Retains 64 to 76% tensile strength at 7 days and 40% at 14 days for time-based wound support considerations
• Essentially absorbed at 90 days, which may help buyers match suture selection to healing timelines
• Non-reflective needle finish is easier to distinguish under bright surgical lights

Applications and Usage

• Selecting an absorbable suture for subcuticular closure
• Soft tissue approximation where a reverse cutting needle is preferred
• Procedures where visibility under bright surgical lights matters
• Workflows that consider tensile strength retention over the first 14 days

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• This suture is noted for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation; buyers should confirm it matches the intended tissue and technique.
• Tensile strength changes over time, so healing timeline and support needs should be reviewed before selection.
• The product uses a reverse cutting needle, which may influence needle choice based on procedural preference.
