SCALPELPOINT™ REVERSE CUTTING
Nonabsorbable Suture
MONOFIL™
Suture Type Material Color(s)
NYLON Monofilament Black or Blue
Description: Monofil™ is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture
composed of the long- chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 or Nylon 6,6.
Monofil™ sutures may be either dyed black (Logwood Extract), dyed
blue (FD&C Blue No.2) or clear (undyed).
Indication: Monofil™ sutures are indicated for use in animals only
in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in
cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.
Features:
• Monofilament facilitates smooth passage through tissue
• Synthetic for minimal tissue reaction
• Nonabsorbable: progressive hydrolysis of the material in vivo may
result in gradual loss of the suture's tensile strength over time
Warning: Sutures should not be used if package is opened or
damaged or if the expiration date has been exceeded. Discard open
unused suture. Do not resterilize; resterilization may alter the physical
properties of this suture, which will result in an adverse patient reaction.
