Understanding MONOCRYL and Poliglecaprone 25

Poliglecaprone 25 is a synthetic absorbable suture material generally supplied in a smooth monofilament construction. MONOCRYL is Ethicon’s branded poliglecaprone 25 range. Its single-strand structure differs from braided polyglactin 910, so buyers should match the material, product family and full catalogue specification rather than selecting by size alone.
