Advantages
The main advantages of using monofilament
sutures:
- The monofilament sutures appear to have the lowest infection promoting effects [1], [2].
- Compared with braided multifilament sutures, absorbable monofilaments exhibit less tissue drag and cause less tearing because of their smooth surfaces [3].
