The CP Medical MONOSWIFT® PCGL Absorbable Sutures with Reverse Cutting Needles, 3/8 Circle, are synthetic surgical monofilament sutures indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
Monoswift® sutures are composed of polyglycolide-co-caprolactone or PCGL. These synthetic and absorbable sutures are characterized by excellent holding strength and suppleness, good knot security, and smooth tissue passage. Non-wicking material ensures that bacteria does not migrate along the suture line. PGCL synthetic absorbable monofilament sutures meet the requirements set by the United States Pharmacopoeia (U.S.P.) except for diameter. CP Medical Monoswift® sutures are equivalent to Ethicon® MONOCRYL®, Look® MONODERM®, Sharpoint® MONODERM® and Covidien® BIOSYN®.
Monoswift® absorption is essentially complete between 91 and 120 days. Being absorbable, it is advisable not to use this suture in cardiovascular or neurological surgery, microsurgery, or ophthalmic surgery. It may also be inappropriate to be used in elderly, malnourished, and debilitated patients, or any patients suffering from conditions that delay wound healing. Monoswift® sutures are available dyed with FD&C violet #2 or undyed (natural), in various suture sizes and needle sizes.
These sutures feature reverse cutting needles, which are strong and sharp. It reduces risk of cutout as the cutting edge is opposite the pull of the wound. Available in 12 per box. Proudly made in the USA.
