You could have developed an allergic reaction to the sutures and this usually depends on the composition of the sutures. Ethicon MONOCRYL is a soft suture with a monofilament structure for smooth passage through tissue. Vicryl takes many weeks to hydrolyze and absorb (56-70 days per Ethicon data), and in the process it can generate a foreign body reaction from the body. In a series of studies, it was found that monofilament sutures resulted in a milder tissue reaction than did multifilament sutures, and that antibiotics did not seem to alter the comparative tissue response to various suture materials. Reactions to suture material can prolong wound healing, compromise cosmetic results and increase the need for re-excision of the scar. As compared to a suture material like Catgut, 4-0 Monocryl incites a tissue reaction of much lower intensity. he said it was a reaction to the monocryl. ... Poliglecaprone (MONOCRYL).
