Monovyn Violet 0 3.5 70 cm DS24 is an innovative suture thread that ensures high performance in the veterinary surgical sector. The product looks like a purple thread, easily recognizable during interventions thanks to its distinctive shade. With a total length of 70 cm and a 0 gauge, it offers a perfect combination of resistance and ease of manipulation, facilitating the surgeon's work when suturing soft tissues. The sphere of use is extremely broad, adapting to both routine interventions and specialist procedures. The Monovyn design, combined with the DS24 needle, guarantees smooth and precise penetration, minimizing tissue trauma and allowing rapid and safe closure of wounds. The controlled elasticity of the thread allows for uniform distribution of tension along the entire suture line, preventing both fraying and premature breakage of the suture itself. Suitable for use on a wide range of fabrics, Monovyn Violet is the ideal choice for those who require quality and reliability in every procedure.
Therapeutic Indications
Indicated for the suturing of soft tissues in numerous types of surgical procedures, Monovyn Violet stands out for its ability to offer long-lasting support during the healing phases, without compromising the elasticity and flexibility of the sutured tissue. This wire is preferred in all situations where high tensile strength and optimal intraoperative visualization are required, thanks to the purple color. It is suitable for both general and specialist procedures, including abdominal surgery, skin closure, subcutaneous surgery, orthopedic surgery and internal organ surgery. The length of 70 cm guarantees enough material to deal with extended sutures or to proceed with multiple stitches without the need to replace the thread. Monovyn Violet is also used in the closure of incisions, in the reconstruction of traumatic injuries and in the treatment of deep wounds. Compatibility with the DS24 needle ensures precise control in the passage between tissues, minimizing the risk of accidental injuries and promoting faster post-operative recovery.
Composition
Suture Thread: Monovyn Violet is made of a high quality synthetic polymer, selected to guarantee maximum tensile strength, controlled elasticity and perfect tissue tolerability. The purple color is obtained through the use of biocompatible pigments designed to remain stable during all phases of the surgical procedure. The thread is designed not to cause inflammatory reactions in the tissues, offering excellent structural integrity until the wound heals completely.
Needle: The DS24 is an atraumatic stainless steel surgical needle, characterized by a triangular section and sharp tip. It guarantees a high penetrative capacity, reducing tissue trauma to a minimum and ensuring maximum precision in the execution of the suture. The DS24 needle is firmly fixed to the thread, preventing accidental detachment and guaranteeing a firm push even in the most difficult sutures.
Contraindications
Monovyn Violet should not be used in patients or animals known to have a hypersensitivity to synthetic materials or dyes used in the thread construction. It may be contraindicated in circumstances requiring an absorbable rather than non-absorbable suture, or in situations where the tissue is unable to support the tension required by the Monovyn. It is not recommended in the presence of untreated local infections or in patients with increased risk of dehiscence (separation) of the wound edges. In case of local adverse reactions, such as persistent edema, disproportionate pain or signs of infection, the suture should be removed and the patient evaluated for alternative therapies. Improper use may result in complications such as necrosis, dehiscence, or delayed wound healing. Do not use for suturing tissues that require maximum elasticity or for closing sutures subject to strong dynamic distension.
Safety of the drug for the species
Monovyn Violet offers a high safety profile for the target animal species, presenting a low incidence of post-operative complications thanks to its biocompatible composition and the absence of pro-inflammatory elements. The structure of the thread, robust and flexible, prevents sudden breaks during the patient's movement, limiting the possibility of reopening of the wound or secondary tissue damage. The purple color helps the surgeon easily locate and remove wires where needed, reducing operating time and minimizing tissue manipulation. Studies conducted on different species have demonstrated excellent tolerability, with healing times comparable to those of threads of a similar nature. However, common hygiene and asepsis rules must always be observed to prevent local or systemic infections. The DS24 needle, combined with Monovyn, is designed to pass through most animal tissues without causing fraying, ensuring maximum safety of use in both young and adult patients.
Precautions
When handling and using Monovyn Violet, it is essential to take all necessary precautions to avoid contamination of the product and the transmission of infections. It is recommended to wear personal protective equipment such as gloves and a mask during the preparation and execution of the suture. The length of the thread allows for greater versatility, but it is important to avoid maneuvers that could cause knots or excessive traction that could compromise the hold of the suture. In case of prolonged sutures, it is advisable to check the integrity of the remaining portion of the thread before proceeding. Once the package has been opened, use the product within a short time to maintain the mechanical properties and sterility unchanged. Do not reuse residual thread and dispose of it following biowaste guidelines. In the case of patients at risk of allergic reactions, carefully observe post-operative developments and intervene promptly in case of abnormal signs. Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces during handling to prevent damage to the surface of the thread or needle. Keep out of reach of children and pets not involved in the procedure.
Method of administration
Monovyn Violet is used following standard soft tissue suturing techniques. After selecting the necessary length, insert the thread into the DS24 needle through the predefined holes or using the pre-threaded version, ensuring a firm anchorage for the entire duration of the procedure. The choice of the type of suture depends on the location and extension of the wound: simple, continuous or mattress stitches are supported by the flexibility of Monovyn Violet. It is advisable to proceed with fluid and decisive movements, applying sufficient tension to close the edges without strangling them. In the case of particularly dense or refractory fabrics, the strength of the thread allows multiple attempts without risk of breakage. Once the closure is complete, knot with at least three turns to ensure the stability of the stitch. Cut the excess thread leaving at least 5 mm to avoid the risk of untying. Any removal must take place according to the times indicated by the clinical protocol, normally varying between 7 and 15 days after the operation.
Treatment program
Monovyn Violet integrates perfectly into surgical treatment protocols that require permanent or long-term sutures. The length of time the thread stays in the tissues depends on the type of operation and the patient's healing speed; in cases of rapid healing, removal can occur early, while in deep or slow healing wounds it is advisable to wait longer to ensure optimal consolidation of the edges. The resistance of the thread allows constant safety in the days following application, reducing the risk of premature failure. It is suggested to check the suture line regularly to promptly identify any signs of dehiscence, infection or irritation, and act accordingly. In case of multiple interventions close together, always replace the previously used thread to avoid cross-contamination. Monovyn Violet is also suitable for repeated treatments, given its excellent biological and mechanical response.
Target species
The Monovyn Violet 0 3.5 70 cm DS24 is intended for use in companion and working animals, in particular for dogs, cats and other small domestic or exotic animals requiring soft tissue suture surgery. It can also be used on larger animals or in the field of specialist veterinary surgery, where a resistant, reliable and easily identifiable thread is required at the time of removal. Suitable for both young and adult species, it guarantees excellent results across a wide range of clinical applications.
