MONOCRYL Plus Antibacterial Suture MCP3205G
MONOCRYL Plus Antibacterial Sutures are sterile, absorbable monofilament sutures made from poliglecaprone 25 coated with triclosan to reduce infection risk. They are ideal for skin and subcuticular wound closures, offering smooth passage with minimal tissue trauma. The sutures are available in various sizes, lengths, and needle types for versatile surgical applications.
These sutures combine the pliability of poliglecaprone 25 with an antibacterial triclosan coating, helping prevent surgical site infections while retaining consistent handling properties. MONOCRYL Plus retains approximately 50–60 % tensile strength at 1 week and 20–30 % at 2 weeks, fully absorbing within 91–119 days. The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag and minimizes bacterial colonization, making it suited for cosmetically sensitive closures. With choices in needle curvature (e.g., taper point or reverse cutting), the suture adapts to diverse wound types and surgical preferences
