Monosyn®

The standard in soft tissue surgery

Monosyn® is particularly suitable for applications in which monofilament, synthetic, mid term tear-resistant, absorbable suture materials are used. For the universal use in veterinary soft tissue surgery. Monosyn® is therefore very well suited as a standard suture material in veterinary clinics and practices and is a real all-rounder.

The monofilament advantages

  • The monofilament sutures appear to have the lowest infection promoting effects [1-4]
  • Compared with braided multifilament sutures, absorbable monofilaments exhibit less tissue drag and cause less tearing because of their smooth surfaces [5]
