Monocryl™ Absorbable Suture with Needle

Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25) is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture offering exceptional pliability and smooth tissue passage. It produces less tissue reaction than chromic gut, with minimal drag and no fraying — making it well-suited for delicate closures across a range of surgical applications.

Key Features
