Ethicon Y701D 0 Monocryl 8X18" Violet MO-4 36mm BX/12

Ethicon MONOCRYL® 0 Suture | Y701D | 36mm MO-4 Needle | 8x18" Violet | BX/12

The Ethicon Y701D is a heavy-gauge, high-performance absorbable monofilament designed for robust soft tissue support. Composed of Poliglecaprone 25, this Size 0 suture provides the high initial tensile strength required for fascia and deep muscular layers while maintaining the "glass-smooth" handling characteristics of the MONOCRYL® line.

This specific configuration features 8 strands of 18-inch suture per foil, each equipped with a 36mm MO-4 (Mayo) taper needle. The Control Release (CR) "pop-off" technology allows the surgeon to detach the needle with a quick, deliberate pull, facilitating rapid continuous stitching or multiple interrupted ties without the need for surgical scissors to cut the needle away.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Control Release (CR) Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle design significantly increases operative speed during fascia closure or myometrial repair, reducing the risk of accidental needle sticks by eliminating extra instrument hand-offs.

• Heavy-Gauge Support: The Size 0 diameter is engineered for tissues requiring significant structural integrity, offering 50–60% strength retention at 7 days and complete absorption via hydrolysis within 91 to 119 days.

• Atraumatic MO-4 Needle: The 36mm taper point is a robust "Mayo" style needle designed to glide through soft tissue by stretching rather than cutting, making it ideal for the gastrointestinal tract, fascia, and reproductive organs.

• Monofilament Safety: Unlike braided sutures of this thickness, the monofilament surface prevents bacterial "wicking" and reduces tissue drag, which is essential in deep, potentially contaminated closure sites.

• High-Contrast Violet Dye: The deep violet color provides a stark contrast against blood and anatomical structures, ensuring precise placement and easy monitoring of the knot stack.
