Ethicon stratafix spiral monocryl plus sutures USP 3.0 38 circle reverse cutting SXMP1B103
Ethicon Stratafix Spiral Monocryl Plus USP 3‑0 (SXMP1B103) is a knotless, absorbable suture made from triclosan-coated Poliglecaprone 25. It features a 3/8 circle reverse-cutting PS-1 needle and 60 cm length for mid-depth soft tissue closure. The antibacterial coating helps reduce surgical site infections while the suture dissolves over time.
This innovative knotless device begins closure at one end of the incision and uses an adjustable fixation loop to tightly approximate soft tissues without tying knots, speeding up closure time. The triclosan antibacterial coating provides Plus Antibacterial technology, lowering infection risks in organ and subcutaneous closure. As a monofilament comprised of Poliglecaprone 25, it maintains tensile strength through early healing phases and naturally absorbs within approximately 90–120 days . This suture combines reliable handling, minimal tissue reaction, and antimicrobial benefits, making it a preferred choice for general soft-tissue applications.
