Description

Suture, Monoderm 3-0 Undyed 1X18 PS-2 is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture designed for effective soft tissue approximation and subcuticular closures. It is composed of a polymer that undergoes hydrolytic degradation, ensuring a predictable absorption profile. The suture retains approximately 64-76% of its tensile strength at seven days, decreasing to 40% at fourteen days, with complete absorption occurring around 90 days.

This suture is equipped with a PS-2 Precision Reverse Cutting Needle, specifically engineered to penetrate dense or fibrous tissues with minimal trauma. The 3/8 circle configuration enhances maneuverability in confined surgical sites, allowing for precise and controlled placement. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the needle maintains sharpness and durability throughout multiple passes.

Monoderm 3-0 exhibits excellent handling characteristics, including minimal tissue drag and superior knot security. Its smooth monofilament structure reduces the risk of bacterial adherence and promotes a cleaner healing environment. These properties contribute to reduced inflammation and an overall lower risk of postoperative complications.
