The Ethicon Y701D is a 0‑sized Monocryl® (poliglecaprone 25) absorbable monofilament suture designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is dyed violet, which enhances visibility during placement and removal, and is crafted from a copolymer of glycolide and ε‑caprolactone for predictable absorption. The suture maintains its full strength during critical early wound healing and typically completes mass absorption between 90 and 120 days. Each suture in this box of 12 comes pre-attached to an MO‑4 needle: a 36 mm, ½‑circle taper point needle with a Control Release design intended for smooth tissue penetration and minimal trauma. The taper point geometry gently parts tissue without cutting, making it well-suited for soft tissues such as bladder, gastrointestinal tract, subcuticular skin layers, fascia, and reproductive tissues. Because it is monofilament and uncoated, it minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of bacterial adherence. Packaged in a sterile, disposable format of twelve sutures per box, the Y701D variant offers reliability and ease of use in surgical settings. It is indicated for procedures where absorbable sutures are desired, but explicitly not recommended for cardiovascular, neurological, microsurgical, or ophthalmic use. The violet coloring, combined with the smooth taper needle, makes it a popular choice for dermatologic closures and other surgical applications where precision and tissue-friendly handling are essential.
