  • MONOCRYL® 3-0 / 4-0
  • PROLENE® 0 / 1
  • ETHILON® 3-0 / 4-0

Common Applications

  • Caesarean section closure
  • Abdominal wall closure
  • Fascial closure
  • Subcutaneous closure
  • Skin closure

Key Requirements

  • Reliable wound support
  • Layered closure performance
  • Good handling characteristics
  • Predictable absorption profile
  • Cosmetic skin finish

Suture Selection for C-Section Closure

Caesarean section procedures usually require layered closure, with different suture materials selected for fascial, subcutaneous and skin closure. Longer-lasting absorbable sutures such as PDS II® may be used where extended wound support is required, while VICRYL® is commonly selected for soft tissue approximation.

For skin closure, absorbable monofilament options such as MONOCRYL® may be used for subcuticular cosmetic closure. Non-absorbable sutures such as PROLENE® or ETHILON® may also be selected where removable skin closure is preferred.

Final suture choice should depend on surgical technique, patient factors, tissue requirements and clinician preference.
