MONOCRYL® (poliglecaprone 25) Suture
MONOCRYL® (poliglecaprone 25) Suture
MONOCRYL Suture is a highly pliable monofilament suture that handles and ties easily,
is virtually inert in tissue, and absorbs predictably. High initial tensile strength diminishes over 2 weeks postoperatively.1
Composition and indications
MONOCRYL Suture is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture comprised of a glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone copolymer. It is indicated for procedures that require high initial tensile strength diminishing over 2 weeks postoperatively, including subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximations and ligations.1*

DERMABOND® PRINEO® Skin Closure System consists of a liquid topical skin adhesive and a self-adhering mesh that provides temporary skin edge alignment until the adhesive is applied.6 In a clinical study, cosmesis was better with DERMABOND PRINEO System than with conventional suturing in skin closure.7
