Ethicon Monocryl W3709 USP 1 Absorbable Suture 90cm Violet 70mm Blunt Needle

Ethicon Monocryl W3709 is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed to provide predictable absorption and reliable short-term wound support with minimal tissue reaction.

This USP 1 absorbable suture is supplied in a 90 cm violet monofilament for enhanced intraoperative visibility. It is fitted with a single-armed blunt point Dolphin needle measuring 70 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them. This helps reduce needlestick risk while maintaining controlled tissue passage in delicate tissues.

MONOCRYL sutures are widely used for soft tissue approximation where smooth passage, low tissue drag, and secure knot performance are essential. The monofilament structure also helps reduce bacterial adherence compared to braided sutures.
