MONOCRYL SUTURE is a synthetic, absorbable suture that combines the advantages of a monofilament suture (for example smooth passage through tissue) with a predictable resorption time. It is composed of poliglecaprone 25, which is a copolymer of glycolide and E-caprolactone. Monocryl comes both in purple colour and undyed. Monocryl has a low tissue reactivity, maintains high tensile strength, and has a half-life of 7 to 14 days.
