Pairing an undyed 4-0 strand with a 24 mm PS-1 prime reverse cutting needle and a generous 27" length, this configuration provides clean needle penetration and ample working length for longer skin and subcuticular closures.

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 dependable short-term wound support 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 cleanly while reducing the risk of the suture tearing through the tissue. The needle size supports confident, well-placed bites along longer incisions.

Smooth Monofilament Handling

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

Clinical Applications

• Subcuticular skin closure
• Closure of longer incisions
• Skin closure and cutaneous wound repair
• General soft tissue approximation
• Closures where an absorbable suture is preferred
