Monocryl is a synthetic, absorbable suture manufactured in Cornelia, Georgia, USA, and trademarked by Ethicon. It is composed of poliglecaprone 25, which is a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. [1] It comes both dyed (violet) and undyed (clear) and is an absorbable monofilament suture.
Maintains strength for 10–14 days [2] 84% at 2 weeks, 23% at 4 weeks [2] 80% at 2 weeks, 44% at 8 weeks. Complete absorption within 200 days [2] Structure: Multifilament: Multifilament: Braided: Monofilament Origin: Bovine serosa surface finish. Made by twisting together strands of purified collagen taken from the small intestine of healthy ...
The manufacturing techniques, derived at the beginning from the production of musical strings, did not allow thinner diameters. As the procedures improved, #0 was added to the suture diameters, and later, thinner and thinner threads were manufactured, which were identified as #00 (#2-0 or #2/0) to #000000 (#6-0 or #6/0).

Poly(2,6-diphenylphenylene oxide) is used for trapping of volatiles and semi-volatiles from air such as environmental air and human breath, and for personal exposure monitoring. It is also used for determining the emission of chemical substances from plants, soil and commercial products.
Syringol is the organic compound with the formula HO(CH 3 O) 2 C 6 H 3. The molecule is a phenol, with methoxy groups in the flanking (2 and 6) positions. It is the symmetrically dimethylated derivative of pyrogallol. It is a colorless solid, although typical samples are brown owing to air-oxidized impurities.
2,6-DMP is produced by the methylation of phenol. With production >100,000 tons/y, it is the most important xylenol. The methylation is carried out by contacting gaseous phenol and methanol at elevated temperatures in the presence of a solid acid catalyst: [2] [3] C 6 H 5 OH + 2 CH 3 OH → (CH 3) 2 C 6 H 3 OH + 2 H 2 O
A ball-and-stick model of polypropylene. Prolene is a brand of synthetic polypropylene used in monofilament nonabsorbable sutures and meshes. The suture is indicated for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6) is a biomarker that has emerged as a valuable tool in distinguishing epithelioid pleural mesothelioma from metastatic adenocarcinoma. In a study comparing its effectiveness with other markers, CK5/6 showed high sensitivity, staining positively in 92% of epithelioid pleural mesothelioma cases.
