Product Overview Product feature summary

MONOCRYL® Plus Antibacterial Suture are ideal for subcuticular skin closure and shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture.

Features & Benefits:

• • Reliable Strength - Consistent absorption rate with a predictable decrease in tensile strength. Stronger than gut suture initially and throughout the critical wound-healing period and offers protection for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation.
• • Ideal for Subcuticular Skin Closure - Shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture. High initial breaking strength to maintain wound approximation during the critical first few days of skin healing.

Catalog Description As seen in our print catalog

These sterile, synthetic, absorbable, surgical sutures contain triclosan, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. Used extensively for nearly 50 years, triclosan is an antimicrobial agent that coats the sutures as an added layer of protection. Available in 3 absorbable polymers: PDS (monofilament), Monocryl™ (monofilament), and Vicryl™ (multifilament braided) in a broad array of sizes, lengths, and needle types.
