Glyconate sutures - Monosyn® 0/0

MONOFILAMENT GLYCOLIC SUTURE THREAD MONOSYN® - 0/0

Monofilament Glycolic Suture Thread Monosyn® 0/0 by B. Braun: Absorbable Suture for High Precision Surgery

The Monosyn® 0/0 suture thread by B. Braun is a synthesized absorbable monofilament suture designed to ensure optimal performance across a wide range of surgical procedures. Made from glycolic acid, a molecule that combines glycolide and other synthesized materials, Monosyn® offers intermediate durability and an ideal absorption profile, perfect for use in soft tissues. The transparent color facilitates the suturing process, making the thread particularly suitable for closing superficial wounds.

Technical Features of Monosyn® 0/0 Thread

The Monosyn® 0/0 is a high-quality, durable monofilament suture that offers numerous advantages during surgical procedures. The safety of the knot and the handling of the thread are excellent, making it ideal for all applications where a gentle and lasting approximation of soft tissues is required. The degradation profile allows the thread to be absorbed in medium timeframes, without compromising the healing process.

Note: Monosyn® by Bbraun is equivalent to the suture thread Monocryl by Ethicon.
