Monoglyde

• A synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture
• Minimal, less reactive scar with excellent cosmesis
• Significant initial tensile strength
• Predictable absorption
• Due to its smooth texture, the suture glides through the tissue easily
• Exceptional pliability, soft and smooth

Monoglyde is ideal approximation material for subcuticular closure. It has low tissue reactivity and maintains 50% – 60% in-vivo tensile strength at 7 days and 20% – 30% at 2 weeks. It provides wound support of 3 – 4 weeks, a good enough time period for skin healing. The total absorption in tissues takes around 90 – 120 days.
