Ethicon MONOCRYL® Plus Antibacterial Suture, Size 3-0, 27", PS-1 Needle - Box of 36
Absorbable Poliglecaprone 25 Monofilament with Triclosan and Prime Reverse Cutting Needle

The Ethicon MONOCRYL Plus Antibacterial (poliglecaprone 25) Suture Size 3-0 PS-1 27in (MCP936H) is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation where temporary wound support is required. Made from poliglecaprone 25 and incorporating triclosan, an antibacterial agent that helps reduce bacterial colonization on the suture, MONOCRYL® Plus sutures offer smooth tissue glide with added antibacterial protection. Pairing an undyed 3-0 strand with a 24 mm PS-1 prime reverse cutting needle and a generous 27" length, this configuration provides the holding strength, needle size, and working length needed for longer closures and tissue under moderate tension. This item replaces code 900-Y442H (vendor code Y442H), so customers who previously ordered Y442H can use MCP936H going forward.

Antibacterial Protection with Triclosan

MONOCRYL® Plus sutures incorporate triclosan, an antibacterial agent that helps reduce bacterial colonization on the suture. This gives clinicians the familiar performance of poliglecaprone 25 with added antibacterial protection, making it a practical choice for facilities looking to support infection prevention practices in routine closures.

Predictable Absorption for Temporary Wound Support

As a synthetic absorbable suture, poliglecaprone 25 provides temporary support while the wound heals and is then absorbed predictably over 90 to 120 days. This removes the need for suture removal in buried and subcuticular closures.

PS-1 Prime Reverse Cutting Needle for Clean Tissue Penetration

This configuration features a PS-1 prime reverse cutting needle (24 mm). With the cutting edge positioned on the outer curvature of the needle, the reverse cutting design penetrates skin and dense tissue cleanly while reducing the risk of the suture tearing through the tissue. The needle size supports confident, well-placed bites, while the 3-0 strand provides added strength for closures under moderate tension.

Smooth Monofilament Handling

The monofilament construction offers a smooth glide through tissue and reliable knot performance, while the 27" strand provides ample working length for running closures. The undyed strand is supplied in its natural colour, keeping it less visible in subcuticular placement.

Clinical Applications

• Subcuticular skin closure
• Subcutaneous tissue closure
• Closures under moderate tension
• Soft tissue approximation
• Ligation
