3-0 MONOPRO Violet Suture, 36" FS-2 Needle | PM923
About this product.
A low-memory 3-0 poliglecaprone 25 monofilament that ties down clean and absorbs predictably — retains roughly 50–60% of its tensile strength at 1 week and 20–30% at 2 weeks, providing effective wound support for about 21 days, with complete absorption in ~90–120 days. Dyed violet for visibility. Comparable to Monocryl® handling, on a 36″ FS-2 reverse-cutting needle.

Choose with confidence
Absorbable or non-absorbable?
The single most important call when you switch suture — here is the plain-English version.
Absorbable
Breaks down in the body over time. For internal tissue, ligation, anything you will not remove. Holds strength through the critical healing window, then absorbs cleanly.
Non-absorbable
Stays until removed — skin closure, tendons, anywhere lasting support matters. Reach for a nylon or polypropylene monofilament instead.
Monofilament vs braided
Monofilament glides through tissue with less drag and lower infection risk. Braided handles and knots more easily.
Reading the label
USP size (smaller number = thicker), needle code (FS / PF) and length. Our sizing chart maps every code to its use.
Why it performs
Holds through the healing window. Then it’s gone.
Sterile, single-use, lot-traceable · 4–5 year shelf life, never short-dated.
