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 2-0 suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and features a violet monofilament construction for excellent visibility during placement. It is armed with a single Taperpoint Plus needle measuring 22 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to provide smooth tissue passage, controlled penetration and reduced tissue trauma in soft tissue closure.

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 performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
