Monolac - Synthetic Absorbable Monofilament Sutures for Soft Tissue Healing

Monolac by Vitrex Sutures are high-quality, mid-term absorbable sutures designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. These synthetic monofilament sutures are made from a combination of glycolide and ε-Caprolactone, offering controlled absorption and minimal tissue reaction. Monolac sutures break down gradually through hydrolysis, ensuring a smooth healing process without the need for removal.

Characteristics

• Synthetic Absorbable Material: Made from glycolide and ε-Caprolactone for reliable absorption.
• Monofilament Structure: The smooth, single-strand design reduces friction and trauma during passage through tissue.
• Hydrolysis Absorption Method: The suture absorbs via hydrolysis, breaking down completely in 90-120 days.
• Minimal Inflammation: The suture material causes very little inflammation during the absorption process.
• Tensile Strength Retention:
  • 7 days: Retains 60% tensile strength
  • 14 days: Retains 30% tensile strength
  • 90-120 days: Full resorption
• Needle Type: 3/8 Reverse Cutting.
• Pack Size: 24 sterile sutures with needles per pack.

Indications

Monolac sutures are suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. These absorbable monofilament sutures are ideal for use in various surgical specialties, providing temporary support during the healing process. Applications include:

• General Soft Tissue Approximation: Excellent for closing soft tissues that do not require long-term support.
• Ligating Tissues: Reliable for ligating blood vessels and tissues in various surgical procedures.
• Other Soft Tissue Surgeries: Ideal for a variety of procedures requiring synthetic sutures that will absorb naturally over time.

Contraindications

Monolac sutures should not be used in tissues that undergo expansion, stretching, or distension, or in cases requiring long-term mechanical support. The synthetic absorbable suture will not provide the necessary strength in such situations, and tissues requiring prolonged support may not benefit from its absorption characteristics.

Benefits

• Controlled Absorption: Gradual absorption ensures adequate tissue support during healing, with complete resorption in 90-120 days.
• Smooth Passage: As synthetic monofilament sutures, Monolac sutures glide smoothly through tissue, reducing friction and irritation.
• Minimal Post-Surgical Irritation: Hydrolysis-based absorption minimizes inflammation during healing.
• Great Knot Security: Provides reliable knot security and optimal tissue approximation for secure closures.
• Ideal for Soft Tissue Healing: Perfect for general soft tissue surgeries where mid-term absorption is needed.
