Monofilament Absorbable Sutures 24/pk
Monolac - Synthetic Absorbable Sutures
Monolac monofilament sutures by Vitrex are a mid-term absorbable and synthetic. They are made of glycolide and ε-Caprolactone. They are excellent for all indications, when a mid-term monofilament is needed.
The material is degraded into adipic acid, which is completely metabolised in the body. The process begins with a loss of tensile strength, followed by a loss of mass at a later stage. During absorption the material elicits only a very slight inflammation.
