Product Description
Monomax®
Absorbable monofilament suture for Abdominal Wall Closure
Monomax® is the unique suture in the market made of poly-4-hydroxibutyrate.
-Extra-long term absorption, Monomax loses its relative tensile strength slower than polydioxanone sutures (slower tensile strength degradation profile compared to polydioxanone sutures). [1,2,3]
-Elasticity and elongation: Monomax® elongates twice as much as polydioxanone sutures. [4]
-Sizes available USP 2/0 (metric 3) up to USP 1 (metric 4).
-It degrades by hydrolysis and enzymatic reaction.
A UNIQUE SUTURE
Maximum Elongation
Monomax® elongates twice as much as polydioxanone sutures. [4]
Monomax® has peak values of elongation more than double the elongation values of PDS® II. According to the basic assumption that a more elongable suture material should have a positive impact on the tissue strangulation, Monomax® can follow peak loads (during coughing, movements, etc.) easier than PDS® II.
The latter one is rather rigid already beginning at low forces which might disturb the blood supply to the sutured tissues. [4]
