Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Undyed Absorbable Monofilament Suture 45cm USP 4-0 | MCP4940H | Box of 36

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Suture MCP4940H is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.

MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures incorporate IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that has been shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonisation on the suture surface. This antimicrobial protection helps reduce the risk of microbial attachment during the critical wound healing period.

The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage while minimising tissue trauma and reducing the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.

This version of MONOCRYL™ PLUS is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during delicate surgical procedures.

Poliglecaprone 25 has been demonstrated to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making it suitable for delicate tissue closure.

The suture is supplied attached to a stainless steel P-3 needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.

MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures are commonly used in plastic surgery, dermatologic closure, subcuticular skin closure and delicate soft tissue approximation procedures where antibacterial suture protection may be beneficial.
