Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS Poliglecaprone 25 Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture MCP3488G

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 Tapercut needle measuring 36 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, combining a tapered body with a cutting tip to allow controlled penetration and accurate placement in slightly tougher soft tissues.

MONOCRYL PLUS sutures provide 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 12 for professional surgical environments.
