Description

The Undyed Ethicon Monocryl Monofilament Absorbable Prime Reverse Cutting 3/8C 3-0 PS-2 18" Suture, manufactured by Ethicon, is a reliable choice for general soft-tissue approximation and ligation in surgical procedures. Made from Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25), this monofilament suture combines absorbability with low tissue reactivity, offering a synthetic option for long-lasting tensile strength.

It is less likely to exit through the skin after breakdown compared to some other sutures, ensuring enhanced patient comfort and wound healing. With less tissue reaction than chromic gut and minimal tissue drag, this suture also eliminates fraying, further enhancing its performance in various surgical applications.

Commonly used in bladder, gastro-intestinal, subcuticular closure, reproductive tract, and fascia closure/linea alba procedures, particularly in young, healthy, fast-healing animals, this suture demonstrates a loss of 60-70% tensile strength after 1 week and complete mass absorption in 91-119 days. Packaged conveniently in sets of 12 each within 1 dozen boxes, Ethicon guarantees consistent quality and reliability with the Undyed Ethicon Monocryl Monofilament Suture.
