Glyconate sutures - Monosyn® 2/0

Monosyn® 2/0 Suture Threads in Glyconate Monofilament by B. Braun: Absorbable Suture for Soft Tissues

The Monosyn® 2/0 suture thread by B. Braun is a synthesized absorbable monofilament suture designed to provide excellent performance in a variety of surgical procedures. Made from glyconate, an advanced composition of synthesized polymers, this thread offers a medium absorption duration, ideal for treating soft tissues. Its transparency makes it perfect for use in superficial wounds, ensuring precision during closure.

Technical Features of Monosyn® 2/0 Thread

The Monosyn® 2/0 is designed to be highly durable and manageable. Its monofilament structure minimizes friction, while its high initial tensile strength ensures secure support for the wound during the healing process. The medium absorption profile makes it ideal for sutures that require gradual assimilation of the thread, without compromising wound stability.

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

Advantages of Monosyn® 2/0 Thread

• High initial tensile strength: Monosyn® 2/0 offers robust traction strength, useful in the early stages of healing, ensuring good wound stability.
• Ideal degradation profile for soft tissues: The composition of the thread and its absorption profile allow for gradual absorption, optimizing the healing of soft tissues.
• Atraumatic passage between tissues: The monofilament design allows for gentle penetration into tissues, minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding structures.
• Good knot security: Monosyn® 2/0 is designed to ensure secure knots, preventing slippage and improving retention over time.
• Rapid mass absorption: The thread is fully absorbed within 60-90 days, minimizing the risk of adverse postoperative reactions.

Indications and Applications of Monosyn® 2/0 Suture

Monosyn® 2/0 is particularly indicated for the approximation of soft tissues and for ligatures in various surgical specialties. Its monofilament structure and excellent retention strength make it ideal for delicate applications where stable and long-lasting sutures are required. Main applications include:

• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Perfect for skin closure and for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery procedures, thanks to its ability to support tissues without compromising scar aesthetics.
• Gynecology and Obstetrics: Used in gynecological and obstetric surgery, especially for pelvic procedures and postpartum surgery.
• Gastrointestinal Surgery: Ideal for the approximation of soft tissues in abdominal surgical procedures, such as intestinal surgery and stomach surgery.
• Urology: Monosyn® 2/0 is particularly useful in urological procedures, for closing incisions and ligatures in sensitive areas.
