Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS Poliglecaprone 25 Absorbable Monofilament Surgical SutureMCP3548H

Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture line.

This USP 4-0 suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and features a violet monofilament construction for clear visibility during placement. It is armed with a single conventional taperpoint needle measuring 17 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to pass smoothly through soft tissue while enabling controlled penetration and precise needle placement in delicate closures.

MONOCRYL PLUS sutures deliver predictable tensile strength retention followed by reliable absorption, making them suitable for tissues requiring short-term wound support. They elicit minimal tissue reaction while maintaining excellent handling and knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
