What is monocryl sutures dissolvable?

Monocryl sutures are dissolvable sutures made from a synthetic polymer material called poliglecaprone 25. These sutures are commonly used in surgeries as they do not require removal as they dissolve within 90-120 days, depending on the thickness of the material. The material is also biocompatible, which means it is not toxic to the body and does not cause adverse reactions. The sutures are used in both soft tissue and in cutaneous wound closures, such as for skin lacerations or incisions. Monocryl sutures are available in different sizes and colors, depending on the surgeon's preference and need. The dissolvability of monocryl sutures eliminates the need for a second visit to the doctor to have them removed and helps in reducing patient discomfort and scarring, making it a preferred choice in medical procedures.
