Ethicon Johnson - NW1648 - Monocryl Sutures USP 4-0, 3/8 Circle Round Body - NW1648 -12 Foils

This product consists of absorbable synthetic monofilament sutures, specifically Monocryl, with a USP size of 4-0. The suture material is polyglecaprone 25, a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. This material is designed to be broken down by hydrolysis within the body, offering a predictable absorption profile.

The suture is undyed, appearing clear or white, which can be beneficial in certain surgical fields where color contrast is not desired. Each suture is pre-attached to a 17mm, 3/8 circle round body needle. The needle's shape and size are suited for precise tissue manipulation and closure in various surgical settings.

The tensile strength retention of this suture is approximately 50% to 60% at 7 days post-implantation and decreases to 20% to 30% at 14 days, indicating its period of support. The total absorption of the suture material is typically completed between 91 and 119 days. The product is supplied in individual foil envelopes to ensure sterility until the point of use, with each package containing 12 such units.
