Prof. Dr. med. René H. Fortelny, Chair General Surgery Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna, explains a young surgeon why using the small bite technique with Monomax® will reduce incisional hernia and substantially lead to better results in daily situations in the OR. His recommendation: The use of small bites with Monomax® should be performed in all midline closure techniques even when a prophylactic mesh has been used.[1, 2, 3]
Extra-long tensile strength retention for a safe long-healing process [4].
Extra elastic & pliable suture to support intra-abdominal pressure changes [5].
The distinctive properties of Monomax® play a role to reduce hernia rates in comparison with the use of polidioxanone sutures [6].
Monomax® is the first and unique extra-long term monofilament suture [7].
Monomax® low rates of incisional hernia are observed regardless of the stitch technique. Combining both – Monomax® and small bite technique – you may expect the best results [3, 6, 8].
Monomax® is the first and unique extra long-term absorbable monofilament synthetic suture material. It loses its relative tensile strength slower than polydioxanone sutures (slower tensile strength degradation profile compared to polydioxanone sutures – in vivo data).[9]
