The Surgicryl® Monofast 4/0 is a Monofilament made from Polyglecaprone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% Є-caprolactone. It is designed as an absorbable suture to provide 14 days of wound support. The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 90 to 110 days. Approximately 75% of tensile strength remain after 7 days. Great for surgical use.
