09/01/2011 - "Over a 1year period, we dramatically reduced the rate of wound complications in patients undergoing hemicraniectomy at our hospital using this new (Monocryl technique, 0% (n=29) compared to other techniques, 35% (n=98), chi-squared [χ(2)] p<0.001). "
09/01/2011 - "Starting in mid 2008, we adopted an alternate approach to operative wound closure, which involved skin closure with a running Monocryl absorbable stitch, and prolonged subgaleal drainage. "
11/01/2010 - "To prospectively compare skin closure time, complication rate and cosmetic result between coaptive film and subcuticular Monocryl wound closures in pediatric spine surgery. "
09/01/2002 - "By 10 to 14 days postoperatively, poliglecaprone 25 used in a BCS closure was associated with significantly lower wound scores than was the same material used in an SI closure. "
01/01/2017 - "Wound Breakdown with Stratafix versus Monocryl Suture in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery: Data from a Single Surgeon."

01/01/2023 - "We investigated the efficacy of loop brushes made of absorbable suture wires of Chirlac, Chirasorb, Monocryl, PDS II, Vicryl Rapid, Glycolon, and Catgut during their operation in conjunction with fine-needle aspiration in an artificial cyst model. "

10/29/2021 - "However, its earlier absorption compared to poliglecaprone 25 did not have any beneficial effect on cutaneous wound healing and scar appearance in the experimental animals."
11/01/2023 - "Scars of wounds closed with Monocryl did not change appreciably in appearance between 2 and 6 weeks. "
02/01/2023 - "However, in our sample, its earlier removal from wounds than poliglecaprone 25 was not found to be associated with a supposedly beneficial effect on wound healing and scar appearance. "
01/01/2017 - "The objective of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in patient and surgeon rating of scar outcome using a combination of subcuticular suture and skin adhesive (subcuticular MONOCRYL and DERMABOND [SMD]) vs staples for skin closure after THA. "
09/01/1997 - "In 81 breast reduction patients Monocryl (N = 28) has proved to give significantly smaller, less reactive scars with a lower tendency toward hypertrophic scar formation compared with Vicryl-rapide (N = 53)."

09/01/1997 - "The role of suture material in hypertrophic scar formation: Monocryl vs. Vicryl-rapide."
09/01/1997 - "In 81 breast reduction patients Monocryl (N = 28) has proved to give significantly smaller, less reactive scars with a lower tendency toward hypertrophic scar formation compared with Vicryl-rapide (N = 53)."
08/01/2014 - "A randomized trial between different suture materials (polydioxanone vs. poliglecaprone 25) and different suturing techniques (running subcuticular suture alone vs. with running horizontal mattress) in prevention of hypertrophic scar development in median sternotomy wound."
09/01/1997 - "In this study the amount of inflammation and the development of hypertrophic scars and keloids was investigated in inframammary skin incisions sutured with synthetic absorbable suture materials: a monofilamentous suture (Monocryl) compared with a multifilamentous suture (Vicryl-rapide). "

10/01/2016 - "Risks of surgical site infection were similar with Vicryl and Monocryl closure in all subgroups assessed. "
10/01/2016 - "There was no significant difference in the risk of surgical site infection in women closed with Vicryl compared with Monocryl (11 [6.1%] vs 35 [5.1%]; P = .58; adjusted odds ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.60-2.49). "
02/01/2018 - "Wound closure with monocryl suture vs. staple proved to be associated with decreased surgical site infection rate ( p < 0.005). "
04/01/2015 - "The goal of this study was to retrospectively investigate the effect of incisional closure with either stainless steel skin staples or intradermal poliglecaprone 25 on the prevalence of surgical site infection following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in dogs. "
10/01/2016 - "Subcuticular skin closure with 4-0 Vicryl is associated with comparable rates of surgical site infection and other wound complications as 4-0 Monocryl. "
