MONOCRYL Sutures is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone.MONOCRYL Sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where an absorbable material is indicated. These sutures (dyed and undyed), being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissues under stress is required. Monocryl UNDYED must not be used for abdominal closure or to close fascial tissue.
