Description
Monolac is a quick absorbable monofilament, produced from Glycolide and ?-Caprolactone copolymer. Monolac has no antigenic or pyrogenic properties. It is available violet colored (with D & C violet No. 2; CI 60725) or natural. Monolac is absorbed in the body by hydrolysis. During absorption the material elicited only a very slight inflammation. The process begins with a loss of tensile strength, later the loss of mass follows. Monolac violet retains 7 days after implantation approximately 60 % (natural 50 %) of its original tensile strength. After 14 days it will be approximately 30 % (natural 20 %). After approximately 90-120 days the material is completely absorbed.
Indications: Monolac sterile is designed for soft tissue approximation, when an absorbable suture is beneficial. Monolac is used in urology, gynaecology, plastic surgery and in the gastrointestinal surgery.
