Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Needle Circle 24 Meters

Monocryl 2.0 Circle Triangular Needle 24 Meters is an absorbable synthetic surgical suture thread, ideal for a wide range of surgical procedures. The thread offers great elasticity and manageability, facilitating suturing procedures thanks to its smooth surface which facilitates passage through tissues reducing trauma. The Monocryl 2.0 is designed with a triangular hoop needle, ensuring precise and reliable soft tissue penetration. The high initial tensile strength guarantees safety during the immediate post-operative phase, while the progressive loss of tightness allows the natural healing of the wound. The product comes in a length of 24 meters, suitable for both outpatient and operating room use, ensuring sufficient supply for multiple procedures. Monocryl is particularly suitable for subcutaneous and intradermal suturing, being almost invisible once applied, thanks to its characteristic transparent or slightly colored monofilament.

The characteristics of Monocryl 2.0 respond to the current needs of the medical and veterinary sector in terms of practicality, reliability and versatility. The combination of the thread and the triangular needle facilitates precise and rapid surgical work, reducing operating times and guaranteeing an aseptic technique. This solution is ideal when you want to reduce the incidence of tissue reactions and therefore promote an optimal environment for healing. Furthermore, the ease of knotting and compatibility with the most common suturing techniques further increase the safety of use of Monocryl.

Therapeutic Indications

The Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle is used for the closure of surgical and traumatic wounds in soft tissue, excluding areas subjected to strong traction. It is often used in general, plastic, gynecological, urological surgery procedures and in pediatric surgery due to its ability to minimize the inflammatory response. It is particularly suitable for invisible skin sutures or where reabsorption of the thread without the need for removal is essential. In veterinary surgery it is also commonly used to close cutaneous or subcutaneous wounds in small and large animals. Furthermore, it is fundamental in the closure of aesthetic wounds since the thread, disappearing spontaneously after having performed its function, reduces discomfort for both the patient and the doctor, eliminating the need for manual extraction. The use of Monocryl, thanks to the triangular circular needle, proves advantageous even in difficult areas where a solid structure and considerable precision during application are required. In this way, local insults are limited to a minimum and the efficiency of the surgical procedure is improved. Its applications also include laparoscopic incision closure procedures, maxillofacial surgery and post-trauma skin reconstructions. The indications for use are finally extended to all cases in which the safety of the knot and the predictability of resorption are key criteria for the choice of suture.

Composition

Active ingredient: Monocryl 2.0 thread is made of poliglecaprone 25, a high-performance monofilament synthetic material, appreciated for its initial resistance and programmed perishability properties. Poliglecaprone is produced through a mixture of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone, ensuring the optimal balance between mechanical strength and controlled absorbability. This composition is specifically designed to reduce tissue reactivity compared to traditional natural threads, reducing the risk of infections thanks to the smooth structure of the thread which prevents bacterial nesting. The triangular needle, associated with the wire, is made of surgical stainless steel, designed to resist bending and twisting, maintaining its sharpness even after multiple entries into the tissues. The entire device is free of latex and allergenic substances, making it suitable for use even on patients with a history of hypersensitivity or allergies. The product is supplied sterile and packaged in such a way as to guarantee its integrity until the moment of use, thus reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The interaction between poliglecaprone 25 and surgical steel gives Monocryl 2.0 a high performance, maintaining the safety and reliability desired for modern surgery.

Contraindications

The use of Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle is contraindicated in situations where prolonged wound sealing is essential, since the reabsorption of the thread is completed within a few weeks. It must not be used in tissues subject to prolonged traction, such as in the case of ligaments, tendons or other tissues where a durable support beyond the resistance time of the material itself may be necessary. Applications are not recommended in patients with confirmed allergies to the components of the suture (such as poliglecaprone 25 or the needle material). The product is not indicated for cardiovascular or neurological microsurgery, ophthalmic surgery or for the suturing of tissues that require superior mechanical support for a long time. Do not use the product on patients with active skin infections or ongoing immunological processes that may interfere with the normal healing process. It is also advisable to avoid its use in combination with devices or materials that could accelerate or interfere with the natural absorption process of the thread itself.

Safety of the drug for the species

Scientific evidence demonstrates that Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle has high safety in both the human and veterinary fields. The synthetic monofilament material significantly reduces the likelihood of inflammatory reactions and side reactions in the treated tissues. Histological studies document a minimal local inflammatory response, generally limited to the first days after application. During the resorption phase, the thread maintains adequate tensile strength so as to be able to support the wound during the critical period of the healing process. The programmed release of the material over time allows for gradual degradation, offering safety in both dogs, cats and humans. However, it is recommended to regularly monitor the wound to ensure the absence of complications such as local infections or superinfections, which may require timely intervention, especially in immunocompromised patients or with deep wounds. The total absence of latex and the very low incidence of allergic phenomena make Monocryl an appropriate choice for a wide range of patients, minimizing the risk of serious adverse events. In the event of unexpected reactions, such as rejection or persistent inflammation, it is important to promptly contact healthcare or veterinary personnel and evaluate the possibility of replacing the material with another type of non-absorbable suture.

Precautions

The methods of use of Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle require the adoption of rigorous aseptic techniques, to minimize the risk of contamination and infection of the surgical site. It is therefore essential to use sterile devices and wear suitable personal protective equipment during all phases of the suturing. The needle must be handled carefully to avoid accidental punctures and puncture wounds to the operator. It is recommended to check the integrity of the packaging before use: do not use the product if the packaging is damaged or opened. The reabsorption of the thread could be accelerated in infected or inflamed tissues, therefore in these cases a careful evaluation by the surgeon is recommended to choose the most suitable suturing technique. After use, the residual material must be disposed of following the procedures established for medical waste at infectious risk. At the end of the procedure it is important to monitor the wound for signs of complications. In case of use on pediatric patients, pregnant women or young animals, first consult your doctor or veterinarian for a careful evaluation of the risk/benefit ratio.

Method of administration

Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle must only be used by qualified healthcare personnel, such as surgeons, veterinarians or dentists, in an appropriately equipped setting. The wire comes in a pre-cut package or on a 24 meter reel, allowing you to cut the exact quantity required for the operation. The triangular needle allows easy anchoring in the tissues even in difficult points, ensuring clear and precise penetration. To obtain the best results, the suture knot must be well tightened, avoiding excessive tightening which could compromise the local microcirculation. It is recommended to avoid sudden tractions when passing the thread through the fabric, in order to prevent damage to the thread itself or the underlying structures. At the end of the application, the ends of the suture can be cut close to the knot to reduce the risk of local irritation. Removal of the thread is not necessary, as it is completely reabsorbed within a few weeks, leaving the tissue soft and intact without the need for further maneuvers on the patient.

Treatment program

The use of Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle follows standard surgical protocols for the suturing of acute or planned wounds. It is indicated for surgical procedures where, based on the type of tissue and depth of the wound, temporary healing assistance is expected to replace manual removal. The complete absorption time generally varies from four to six weeks, but the mechanical resistance decreases already after the first fourteen days, gradually adapting to the natural healing process. To optimize results, it is recommended to follow a post-operative follow-up with regular wound assessments in order to intervene promptly in case of dehiscence or secondary infections. In the veterinary field, the treatment program is adapted according to the species, age and type of wound to be treated; in growing patients or in particularly vascularized tissues, reabsorption may be more rapid. The adoption of Monocryl reduces post-operative management times and costs since a second session is not necessary to remove the suture, reducing stress for the patient and optimizing treatment times. Each intervention must be evaluated individually by the professional, who will establish timing and methods based on the clinical conditions and the needs of the surgical procedure in progress.

Target species

Monocryl 2.0 Triangular Circle Needle is intended for both human and animal patients, having found wide application in the field of general and specialist surgery. In veterinary medicine it is indicated for small and large animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and other domestic or farm animals where reliable and absorbable sutures are required. In human surgery it is frequently used for the closure of cutaneous, subcutaneous and mucosal surgical wounds, making it ideal especially in areas subject to moderate stress or in which the absence of visible knots represents an aesthetic advantage. The target species are therefore those in which the absorbable suture is preferable to minimize trauma from subsequent manipulations, improve the post-operative outcome and guarantee maximum efficiency of the surgical procedure. In any case, the final choice lies with the surgeon or veterinarian, who will customize the technique of use based on the specific needs of the patient and the type of operation.
