Chromic even less so. Isn't zero vicryl and zero monocryl of about equal strength to #1 chromic??? Why leave that much suture material around for a longer time if it doesn't add any strength???

Does anyone use #1 Monocryl, as I do? Richard Chudacoff, MD

I use # 1 vicryl but I'm thinking about monocryl. I've heard it is less likely to tear through the uterine musculature?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
