Monosyn Purple 2/0 70 cm Monofilament Surgical Thread

Monosyn Viola 2/0 70 cm is a monofilament surgical thread specifically designed to offer high performance in numerous surgical contexts. It is an innovative material that combines remarkable ease of handling with excellent tensile strength, reducing tissue trauma to a minimum thanks to its smooth surface and soft composition. The presence of the purple color facilitates visibility during suturing, thus allowing more precise wound closure even in the most complex intervention areas. The length of 70 cm offers the versatility necessary to cover both routine operations and particularly delicate procedures, ensuring the necessary safety and perfect adaptability to the surgeon's different needs.

The exclusivity of Monosyn Viola 2/0 also lies in the fact that it is completely absorbable and monofilament, offering an ideal balance between durability and safety. This feature is essential to minimize the risks of irritation, infections or adverse reactions, ensuring a favorable healing process. The thread maintains its stability for the time necessary to support the tissues in the early stages of the healing process, and is then gradually absorbed by the body without leaving residues. Reliability, functionality and comfort for both the patient and the surgeon are the priorities of this surgical thread, making it the ideal choice in a wide spectrum of medical and surgical applications.

Monosyn's monofilament structure significantly reduces the risk of excess knot formation and minimizes micro-tears in the tissues. The profile of the thread and the particular choice of 2/0 gauge make it suitable both for thin sutures and for interventions in anatomical areas that require safe but non-invasive support. Ease of cutting and tensile strength remain constant even after surgical grooming, irrigation and extensive manipulation. This allows you to work with maximum precision, to perfectly control the tension of the suture and to favor the correct juxtaposition of the tissue flaps for optimal healing.

Therapeutic Indications

Monosyn Viola 2/0 70 cm is indicated for a wide range of surgical interventions that require the use of absorbable and low tissue impact sutures. It is particularly recommended in cases where you want to avoid manual removal of stitches, such as in abdominal, obstetric, gynecological, urological and pediatric surgery. It can be used effectively for the suturing of internal soft tissues, including muscles, fascia, peritoneum and epithelium, thanks to its high ability to adapt to natural body movements without causing excessive tension or adverse reactions. The thread is frequently used in surgical incision closures, laceration repairs, plastic surgery and numerous minor procedures where temporary wound support is crucial for rapid and safe healing.

In procedures where medium-term tissue support is required, Monosyn best expresses its potential, as it is gradually absorbed by the body without releasing toxic substances or causing significant inflammatory phenomena. It is also used effectively in the outpatient, veterinary and surgical dentistry fields, especially in those cases where the ease of management of the suture and post-operative comfort are of primary importance. The purple color makes it particularly visible even on vascularized or difficult to access tissues, further facilitating the surgeon's work and improving the effectiveness of the therapeutic procedure.

This type of thread is also suitable for suturing delicate tissues or those at risk of dehiscence, where the formation of granulomas or excessive scar tissue would represent a significant complication. Thanks to its versatility and its low trauma characteristics, Monosyn Viola 2/0 is often the first choice in the operating room when a highly performing, absorbable and easily controllable solution is needed in terms of safety and durability.

Composition

Active ingredient: Monosyn Viola 2/0 is made of a high-quality resorbable monofilament polymer, specifically designed to minimize the inflammatory response and ensure high initial tensile strength.

The base material is a synthetic copolymer formed by the union of polyglycolic acid and ε-caprolactone, two components chosen for their biocompatibility, safety and ability to be degraded by the body without toxic residues. Thanks to this particular composition, the thread maintains its integrity for enough time to guarantee tissue consolidation but is gradually and completely reabsorbed over a period of weeks, avoiding the need for manual removal.

The high production standard and the choice of 2/0 gauge also ensure a low risk of accidental breakage, while the monofilament structure helps to limit bacterial colonization and the formation of biofilm. The purple color used is non-toxic, stable and allows immediate identification of the thread during the procedure. Free of latex and heavy metals, Monosyn Viola 2/0 is a safe choice even for patients potentially allergic or sensitive to traditional materials.

Contraindications

The use of Monosyn Viola 2/0 is contraindicated in all cases where a permanent or long-lasting suture is required, since it is a completely absorbable thread that gradually loses its resistance over time. It should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the thread (for example, to the constituent synthetic polymers). It should be avoided in deep vascular sutures and in all those tissues in which prolonged mechanical support is essential to avoid complications; for example, in vascular anastomoses where the loss of resistance could cause a risk of dehiscence.

The product is not indicated in cases of active infections or in areas characterized by poor vascularization, as it could slow healing and not provide adequate support until complete absorption. The surgeon will have to carefully evaluate the suitability of the thread in immunosuppressed patients, diabetics or with systemic conditions that could influence healing times. It is contraindicated in situations where movements or excessive tension on the wound are expected for prolonged periods, which could lead to an early loss of resistance or breakage of the thread.

Monosyn Viola 2/0 is not recommended for external skin closure where long-term support is required, nor for use in artificial heart valves or orthopedic applications involving high loads.

Safety of the drug for the species

The safety profile of Monosyn Viola 2/0 has been carefully studied to offer maximum guarantees both for the human species and for possible veterinary use. The choice of the basic polymer, reabsorbable and biocompatible, allows the risk of systemic local adverse reactions to be reduced to a minimum. During its degradation, the material does not produce toxic by-products and is disposed of through normal metabolic processes without exerting significant impacts on surrounding organs or tissues. The monofilament structure drastically reduces the risk of suture-related infections as it limits the possibility of bacterial nesting along the surface of the thread, unlike multifilament materials.

Biocompatibility tests have demonstrated a low incidence of inflammatory phenomena, granulomas or allergic reactions even in the most sensitive subjects. The material is latex-free and releases negligible, if any, levels of microparticles or fibers during handling, making it suitable for both human and veterinary medicine. Several publications suggest a duration of residual resistance adequate to guarantee safety in the main clinical applications, with the possibility of customizing the length and intensity of the tissue support in relation to the location and type of intervention.

The overall safety of the thread remains optimal even in the case of prolonged use or in interventions on fragile tissues, as long as the compatibility between the type of thread, duration of resistance required and general conditions of the patient is respected.

Precautions

It is important to ensure that Monosyn Viola 2/0 is used exclusively by adequately trained personnel, capable of evaluating the compatibility of the thread with the type of fabrics treated and with the envisaged operating protocols. It is recommended not to use the product if the packaging is damaged or shows obvious signs of contamination. Always use strict aseptic techniques during handling and suturing to limit the risk of introduction of microorganisms and subsequent wound infection. Pay attention in the case of patients already sensitized to synthetic polymers, even if the composition has been designed to minimize allergic risks.

After opening, the wire must be used within a short time to avoid any compromise of its mechanical characteristics. It is recommended to carefully monitor the wound in the days following application to promptly identify signs of dehiscence, infection or early loss of suture strength. In the veterinary field, it is necessary to consider any behavior of the animal that could lead to excessive strain on the wound, accelerating the loss of integrity of the thread before complete absorption. In case of accidental exposure to extreme temperatures, check that the wire retains its structural integrity before use.

It is essential to respect the degradation times foreseen by the technical documentation, avoiding prolonged or inappropriate uses that could compromise the clinical results. Any residues must be disposed of according to current regulations regarding medical waste.

Method of administration

Monosyn Viola 2/0 is used using a standard surgical technique for suturing soft tissues. The thread can be used both freehand and with the aid of specific surgical instruments for suturing. The insertion of the thread into the fabric must be carried out delicately to ensure optimal combination of the edges without generating excessive tension which could compromise its effectiveness. The thread easily adapts to different suturing techniques, such as single, continuous or mattress stitches, offering excellent tension control, easy manipulation and perfect knot retention.

Before suturing, it is recommended to hydrate the thread for a few seconds if you want to further improve its handling, but excellent results are obtained even with dry thread. The combined needle, usually made of hardened and atraumatic steel, guarantees easy penetration into the tissues, limiting the risk of lacerations or additional trauma. The thread must be cut with special sterile tools and it is important not to trace the knots excessively so as not to damage the monofilament structure.

Completion of the procedure requires checking the stability of the knots and verifying perfect closure of the wound. The thread will be left in situ until it is completely reabsorbed by the body, without the need for manual removal in most applications.

Treatment program

The use program of Monosyn Viola 2/0 depends on the specific surgical needs and the anatomical site involved. In abdominal surgery or for the closure of internal soft tissues, the thread guarantees effective support until the physiological repair processes allow its complete replacement by newly formed tissue. The duration of resistance varies based on the type of tissue, the patient's clinical condition and the complexity of the procedure; generally, the thread maintains an adequate hold for a period ranging from the first weeks up to about a month after application, before being gradually reabsorbed by the body.

In the case of operations in areas subject to moderate tension, it is preferable to use mattress or continuity stitches, regularly checking the state of the suture through post-operative visits and, if necessary, evaluating the integrity of the wound through ultrasound scans or direct inspection. If used in the veterinary field, it is recommended to protect the sutured area until the material is completely reabsorbed to avoid accidental trauma. In pediatric surgery, the choice of absorbable materials such as Monosyn allows us to avoid the removal of stitches and facilitate a less traumatic post-operative course for the young patient.

The time interval for complete absorption may vary depending on the individual response and specific metabolism of the patient. It is therefore advisable not to prescribe treatments that are too prolonged and to prefer a personalized evaluation based on the clinical course and the type of intervention performed.

Target species

This type of surgical thread is mainly intended for use on humans, both in general and specialist surgery, but can also be used in the veterinary field for pets and livestock in cases where absorbable sutures with low tissue impact are required. Its versatility of application makes it suitable for a wide spectrum of species and clinical needs, thanks to its technical and proven safety characteristics.

In both human and veterinary medicine, the thread plays an essential role in soft tissue sutures, allowing a physiological healing process and the progressive replacement of the thread with new tissue without negatively impacting the quality of the scar or the function of the structures affected by the operation.
