Vitrex Monolac Monofilament Natural Sutures with Needle
MONOLAC is a mid-term absorbable, synthetic monofilament suture made of glycolide and caprolactone. Available in natural colour for the closure of superficial wounds. The material is degraded into adipic acid, which is completely metabolised in the body. The process begins with a loss of tensile strength, later the loss of mass follows.

MONOLAC monofilament is a mid-term absorbable, synthetic suture made of glycolide and E-Caprolactone, available in natural colour for the closure of superficial wounds and in violet for all other indications, when a mid-term monofilament is needed.
During absorption the material elicited only a very slight inflammation.
The material is degraded into adipic acid, which is completely metabolised in the body. The process begins with a loss of tensile strength, followed by a loss of mass at a later stage.
Indication: General soft tissue approximation and/or ligation in all specialities, where an absorbable material is indicated.
Contraindication: Monolac monofilament should not be used in tissues subject to expansion, stretching or distention, or which might require long-term mechanical support.
