Monocryl (poliglecaprone)

Monocryl (poliglecaprone)

Monocryl, often seen as a monofilament alternative to Vicryl, is another popular suture material choice. It is more expensive than Vicryl, has excellent handling characteristics for a monofilament suture, and loses its strength in less than 1 month, though complete absorption takes 3 to months. As with Vicryl, an antibacterial option is also now available.

Maxon (polyglyconate) Maxon is a long-lasting monofilament absorbable suture; while it loses some strength already after 3 weeks, it takes 6 months or more for the suture material to be entirely absorbed, making this a good choice when long-term strength retention may be helpful. It has good handling characteristics, though the slow absorption times should be taken into account if dyed suture material is used, as the suture may be visible if placed in a running subcuticular pattern.
