Q-close Mono - Suture, poliglecaprone

Intended purpose

Q-close Mono suture is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where an absorbable suture material is indicated. The safety and effectiveness of Q-close Mono suture has not been established in cardiovascular tissue, neurological tissue, microsurgery and ophthalmic surgery.

Functional description

Q-close Mono suture after implantation elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues and is eventually replaced with an ingrowth of fibrous connective tissue. Q-close Mono suture being absorbable in nature gets absorbed in the tissues by means of hydrolysis, during which the Poliglecaprone-25 polymer is degraded into monomers of adipic acid which is eventually absorbed and metabolized in the body.
