Pack (24). Monolac is a quick absorbable monofilament, produced from Glycolide and e-Caprolactone copolymer. The thread is not coated and has a smooth, non porous surface. The passage through the tissue is very easy. The thread has no capillary effect and shows no sawing effect. Monolac has a high tensile strength and an even, symmetrical diameter. The thread is soft , but not like a rubber. It shows high flexibility and best handling properties. The knot security is high. Monolac has no antigenic or pyrogenic properties. It is available violet colored (with D & C violet No. 2; CI 60725) or natural in the sizes from EP 0.7 (USP 6/0) to EP 3.5 (USP 0). Monolac is absorbed in the body by hydrolysis. During absorption the material elicited only a very slight inflammation. The material is degraded into adipic acid, which is completely metabolized in the body.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. Reaction in tissue: Slight initial inflammatory reaction in tissue. Interaction: Sterile Monolac should not be used in tissues which may undergo expansion, stretching or distension or which may require long-term mechanical support.
