Monosyn 2/0 Purple 70 cm

Monosyn 2/0 Purple 70 cm is a latest generation absorbable suture thread, designed to ensure safe and minimally invasive management of surgical wounds in soft tissues where a moderate healing support time is required. The purple colour, easily recognizable during surgery, allows for optimal visibility and effective manipulation even in the most complex operating fields. The 70 cm length offers flexibility during procedures, facilitating the creation of continuous or interrupted sutures with adequate extension to handle even large incisions. Monosyn is appreciated for its easy handling, smoothness in the tissues and its tensile strength, which helps keep the tissues well together during the critical phases of healing. The thread is extremely soft and flexible, reducing foreign body sensation in patients and easily adapting to various types of tissues, both superficial and deep.

Thanks to its innovative composition in monofilament synthetic material, the risk of bacterial transmission along the thread is significantly reduced compared to materials of natural origin or multifilaments. Monosyn is ideal for a wide range of surgical procedures, from the closure of abdominal and skin incisions, to the repair of internal organs, up to use in pediatric and plastic surgery, where an effective and predictable suture is required that does not need to be removed subsequently.

The thread maintains excellent knot-holding and strength characteristics during the initial stages of healing, gradually degrading in a controlled manner so as not to compromise the safety of the sutured edges. Its smooth surface and advanced treatment guarantee minimal trauma to the tissues during the passage of the needle, with a significant reduction in the risk of the formation of obvious or irregular scars. Monosyn 2/0 Viola 70 cm therefore represents a reliable and modern solution in the surgical field, combining practicality, safety and optimal aesthetic results.

Therapeutic Indications

Monosyn 2/0 Purple 70 cm is indicated for the suturing of soft tissues in all cases where temporary support for healing is required, with progressive reabsorption of the suture material once stability of the wound has been achieved. This thread is particularly suitable in general surgery, in the closure of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, fascia and in the ligation of small caliber blood vessels. It is also used in the gynecological field for the closure of the uterus, in obstetrics in caesarean sections, in urological surgery for the suturing of the bladder and urinary tract and in pediatric surgery where the delicacy of the tissues requires safe and well-tolerated materials.

The Monosyn thread is also suitable for plastic, reconstructive and maxillofacial surgery procedures, thanks to its excellent sliding properties and low tissue reaction rate, ensuring optimal aesthetic results and a reduced risk of local inflammation. Its programmed resorption makes it ideal in areas where removal of the sutures would be difficult or traumatic for the patient. Furthermore, Monosyn is also indicated in post-traumatic sutures and in the repair of surgical incisions where good initial solidity of the adjacent tissue is desired, followed by a natural and safe reabsorption of the thread once healing is complete.

Composition

Active ingredient: Monosyn is made of a monofilament synthetic polymer based on glycolide, ε-caprolactone and trimethylene carbonate, which ensure progressive reabsorbability properties, maintenance of mechanical resistance for the necessary time and excellent biocompatibility with tissues. Its purple color is obtained using non-toxic dyes approved in medical procedures, ensuring high visibility without any risk to patients.

The absence of materials of animal origin minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and inflammation, making Monosyn a preferential choice for intraoperative safety. The smooth surface of the thread is due to a specialized extrusion and manufacturing process, which helps reduce friction during passage through the tissues and the risk of postoperative adhesions.

The constituent material is entirely absorbable through hydrolysis mechanisms, ensuring complete reabsorption of the thread without residues and without causing local accumulations or granulomas. This advanced composition guarantees a secure knot hold even in humid body environments and predictable degradation according to clinically required timing.

Contraindications

Do not use Monosyn 2/0 Purple 70cm in patients with known hypersensitivity to suture polymer components or dyes used for purple staining. It is contraindicated in cardiovascular procedures where prolonged tissue traction support is required or in cases where the resistance of the knot must be guaranteed for periods longer than those foreseen by the degradation of the thread.

The product must not be used in tissues that require a permanent suture or where mechanical support is required for a long time, such as in the case of tendon or ligament repairs or in some specific orthopedic surgeries. Furthermore, use on tissues compromised by serious infections or conditions of poor vascularization which could interfere with the normal absorption and healing phases of the material is not recommended.

Safety of the drug for the species

Monosyn 2/0 Viola 70 cm stands out for its high safety of use in humans, thanks to its biocompatibility characteristics and the controlled absorption process which does not generate toxic by-products. The thread is well tolerated even in pediatric and elderly patients, offering a cutting-edge solution compared to traditional materials. Adverse reactions are extremely rare and generally manifest as mild local reactions, such as transient redness or minimal hardening, which resolve spontaneously with complete degradation of the thread.

There are no reported systemic effects or serious complications associated with the use of Monosyn, although an individual clinical evaluation is always recommended in case of particular pathological conditions or tissue healing difficulties. Even in the presence of conditions predisposing to infections, the use of Monosyn does not favor microbial growth along the weft of the thread, thanks to the monofilament structure which limits capillarity and bacterial transmission.

Precautions

The handling of the Monosyn 2/0 Viola 70 cm thread must take place following the usual asepsis and sterility practices typical of the operating field. It is advisable to avoid excessive tension during suturing so as not to damage or cut the tissues, especially when used on delicate structures or fragile skin. Pay attention to ensure correct positioning of the knot, avoiding overlaps that could compromise the stability of the tissue combination.

In the case of patients with impaired healing (for example diabetes, immunosuppression, prolonged cortisone therapy), it is necessary to carefully evaluate the choice of suture material considering the resorption profile of the thread with respect to individual clinical needs. Keep the thread in sterile conditions until use and discard any damaged or expired packaging.

Method of administration

The Monosyn 2/0 Purple 70 cm thread is supplied sterile, ready for use after opening the packaging according to asepsis rules. Its length is ideal for both continuous and interrupted sutures, easily adapting to the surgeon's needs and the different types of incisions. To obtain optimal knot strength, it is recommended to apply at least three passes of the knot, tightening evenly and without excessive tension.

The smoothness of the thread allows trauma to be reduced to a minimum when crossing the tissues, making suturing particularly easy even in difficult to access points. In the case of deep sutures, the use of atraumatic needles is preferable to ensure maximum integrity of the polymer and tissues involved. The thread does not require removal, as it is progressively reabsorbed over the period envisaged by the use protocol.

Treatment program

The treatment program with Monosyn 2/0 Viola 70 cm involves the use of the thread to stabilize the wound edges until the natural healing process allows for its progressive degradation and total absorption. In conventional surgeries, tensile strength is maintained in the first post-operative weeks, providing the necessary support for tissue reunion.

Absorption times may vary depending on the surgical site, local tissue conditions and the patient's clinical profile, but in most cases the complete degradation of the thread occurs in a period ranging between a few weeks and a few months. In case of particularly delicate situations or at risk of dehiscence, the program can be adapted by the medical team, possibly choosing a higher caliber or a different suture technique in accordance with the clinical conditions faced.

Monitoring of the healing process and the safety of the fixation must be carried out regularly during post-operative checks, promptly reporting any anomalies to guarantee the complete success of the surgical procedure.

Target species

Being a suture thread for human use, Monosyn 2/0 Purple 70 cm is intended for exclusive use in patients undergoing surgical procedures, in particular where a temporary but safe suture is required, with requirements for minimal local trauma, biocompatibility and rapid disappearance of the material once the natural healing of the tissues has been completed.
