The product stands out for its ease of use, compatibility with a wide range of surgical procedures and the high knot strength of the threads, fundamental elements to guarantee low dehiscence and optimal aesthetic and functional results. The pack of 12 pieces allows you to have an adequate quantity for single operations or serial procedures, without compromising the quality of the suture. Comfort, safety and precision are guaranteed even for less experienced surgeons, thanks to the great ease of handling of the product.

Therapeutic Indications

Monocryl 4.0 sutures with 19mm Circle Triangular Needle are used in a wide range of surgical interventions where a suture with programmed absorption and minimized tissue trauma is required. They are particularly suitable for skin closures, plastic surgery, microsurgery, general surgery, and are also suitable for the suturing of soft tissues and for ligatures in less resistant tissues. In cosmetic surgery, Monocryl 4.0 is often chosen for minimal incisions as the thread leaves inconspicuous scars and allows for rapid post-operative recovery.

The absorbable thread allows for excellent healing management, allowing the tissue to maintain its natural elasticity without creating localized rigidity, an essential factor in those areas of the body particularly subject to movement, such as the hands, face and limbs. Monocryl staplers are also recommended in pediatric operations or in patients who require minimal removal of sutures, as the material progressively reabsorbs, avoiding the need for further maneuvers and thus reducing stress for the patient.

Furthermore, these sutures are often used in veterinary medicine and other surgical specialties where delicacy and precision translate into a lower burden of post-surgical inflammatory or infectious complications. Their use is recommended whenever temporary support for healing tissues is necessary and there is no need for permanent support.

Composition

Active ingredient: Monocryl sutures are made of an absorbable synthetic monofilament, predominantly composed of polyglecaprone 25. This material was developed to offer an ideal combination of initial tensile strength and rapid absorption, reducing the risk of granuloma formation and other adverse reactions. The monofilament, compared to traditional multifilament sutures, has a smooth surface which limits bacterial colonization and the risk of operative site infections, improving the safety profile in the short and long term.

The shape makes the thread extremely smooth, reducing friction and therefore trauma during its passage through the tissues. The triangular surgical stainless steel needle, with a 19 mm circular curvature, is designed to ensure excellent penetration and precision in the tissues, without bending and with an excellent seal, preventing breakage or damage to the material. The combination of these elements allows for easy and safe suturing of the wound.

Excipients: The product does not contain latex or common allergenic substances, therefore representing a safe choice in sensitive or allergic patients. The packaging guarantees protection from humidity and contamination, preserving the sterility of the sutures until use.

Contraindications

The use of Monocryl 4.0 sutures is contraindicated in cases where a permanent suture is required or where healing times may exceed the period of support guaranteed by the thread. Application is not recommended in tissues subject to high tension, such as deep fascial sutures in the abdomen, where the risk of dehiscence is higher due to the poor residual resistance in the advanced stages of thread absorption.

They must also not be used in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to the synthetic materials of which the suture is made, such as poliglecaprone. Use in patients with clinical conditions that require prolonged maintenance of suture tension is contraindicated, as the thread tends to progressively lose its tensile strength during the absorption process.

Where high levels of resistance and support are required for long periods, or where there are active infections at the suture site, it is preferable to opt for different and non-absorbable materials, also in order to avoid complications related to early degradation of the suture in an infected environment.

Safety of the drug for the species

Monocryl 4.0 offers excellent safety profiles for use in human clinical settings, both adults and pediatrics. The physiological absorption of the suture allows a gradual loss of resistance, reducing the risk of foreign bodies remaining in the tissues and the subsequent onset of granulomas or hypertrophic scars. Rejection or allergic reactions are extremely rare, given the monofilament synthetic composition and the total absence of substances of animal origin or latex.

Numerous clinical studies have confirmed that the absorption process occurs without the formation of toxic or irritating by-products, offering a physiological and natural healing recovery. In all cases, the safety of the product is strictly related to compliance with the indications for use and contraindications, as well as the correct surgical technique.

The risk of infection associated with Monocryl 4.0 is reduced compared to other types of sutures thanks to the low adhesion power to bacteria typical of monofilament threads; however, in the presence of local infectious phenomena, specialist evaluation is always necessary to choose the best suturing strategy.

Precautions

The precautions for use of Monocryl 4.0 sutures with 19mm Circle Triangular Needle include correct storage in a dry and clean environment until use, as well as scrupulous verification of the integrity of the sterile packaging. This step is essential to avoid infectious risks due to accidental contamination of the product before application.

During the surgical procedure, it is necessary to manipulate the sutures exclusively with sterile instruments and following aseptic techniques, to ensure adequate protection of the patient. In the event of the onset of inflammatory or irritative phenomena at the site of the suture, the patient must be monitored until complete resolution. In case of symptoms of hypersensitivity, discontinue treatment and evaluate replacement with other material.

It is important to evaluate the compatibility between the suture thread and the type of tissue involved in the procedure, always considering any patient comorbidities, immunosuppression conditions or healing disorders that may increase the risk of complications.

Method of administration

Monocryl 4.0 sutures are applied using the triangular needle supplied in the package, which allows a smooth passage into the tissues and a controlled penetrance thanks to its particular curvature and sharpness. For an optimal result, it is advisable to maintain uniform tension during wound closure, avoiding excesses that could cause necrosis of the edges or loosening that would facilitate dehiscence.

Based on surgical standards, the time necessary for the application of Monocryl is shorter than other types of sutures, both thanks to the ease of knotting and the smoothness of the thread. Knots made with Monocryl show excellent resistance, but it is always necessary to establish the most suitable quantity of knots based on the tissue treated and the length of the wound.

Post-surgery, the thread begins its biological absorption process in a gradual and physiological way, without generating unwanted effects on the surrounding tissues and without requiring removal by healthcare personnel.

Treatment program

The Monocryl 4.0 Triangular Needle Circle 19mm is designed to support tissue healing until complete reabsorption, generally scheduled within 90-120 days from application, depending on the physiological conditions of the patient and the site of use. Scheduling suture removal is not necessary, as the material dissolves naturally without leaving residue, minimizing discomfort and improving patient compliance.

It is advisable to use Monocryl 4.0 in cases where rapid wound healing is expected and permanent support is not required. In particular, the treatment involves regular monitoring of the state of the wound during the first post-operative weeks, to early detect any complications or signs of anomalous local reaction. In situations with high risk of dehiscence or necrosis, it may be necessary to integrate the suture with other fixation techniques or choose a non-absorbable thread.

In cosmetic surgery and microsurgery, the treatment program involves careful planning of application times and the execution of an atraumatic suture, to maximize the quality of the aesthetic result. In all cases, the absorption times and the need for medical checks must be adapted to the individual clinical picture and the specific needs of the patient.

Target species

The Monocryl Suture 4.0 Triangular Circle Needle 19mm is designed for use in the context of human surgery, both on adult and pediatric patients. It has excellent adaptability in multiple specialties thanks to the versatility of the type of thread and the characteristics of the needle supplied. It can also be used, under specialist veterinary evaluation, in the veterinary field for the suturing of soft tissues in domestic and companion animals, thanks to the effectiveness and tolerability demonstrated also for these species.
