Description | : | PROCRYL MONO sutures are synthetic, absorbable, sterile, surgical monofilament suture with excellent smoothness and pliability for short-medium term wound support. Being monofilament, the suture is smooth, making it easier to pass through the tissues as compared to braided suture. Minimal tissue reaction and predictable absorption makes it as replacement suture for chromic catgut sutures. |
Special Features | : | Smooth and least tissue drag, higher initial tensile strength, excellent bending and breaking resistance of needle, less tissue reaction and predictable absorption, better knot security, easy to handle, minimized risk of suture line infection |
