Monocol : Sterile Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Suture made of Polydioxanone to form a strong pliable Violet suture. It is effective where long term wound support or extended wound support is required up to 55-58 days. It retains 50% of its initial tensile strength after 28 days, 25% after 45 days and is completely absorbed between 180 to 210 days. USP sizes available 1 to 6/0 Monocol is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture formed by polymerising the monomer Polydioxanone to form a strong pliable monofilament Monofilament Polydioxanone (PDO) suture is a synthetic, absorbable surgical thread used for wound closure. Composed of the polymer polydioxanone, this suture type is monofilament, meaning it consists of a single strand, reducing tissue trauma during placement. Polydioxanone is known for its high tensile strength, which ensures secure wound closure, and its absorption occurs through hydrolysis. PDO sutures are commonly used in various surgical specialties, including dermatology and general surgery, where an absorbable suture with extended tensile strength is required for prolonged wound support. These sutures contribute to effective wound healing and eliminate the need for suture removal. Specific characteristics may vary based on the manufacturer and product specifications.
