The Ethicon MONOCRYL Plus Antibacterial (poliglecaprone 25) Suture Size 4-0 PS-2 27in (MCP426H) is a synthetic absorbable suture designed for soft tissue approximation where temporary wound support is required. Made from poliglecaprone 25 and incorporating triclosan, an antibacterial agent, MONOCRYL® Plus sutures combine dependable handling with added antibacterial protection on the suture itself. Pairing an undyed 4-0 strand with a 19 mm PS-2 prime reverse cutting needle from Ethicon's MULTIPASS® needle line and a generous 27" length, this configuration is well suited to skin and subcuticular closures where clean needle penetration and ample working length are important. This item replaces code 900-Y426H (vendor code Y426H), so customers who previously ordered Y426H can use MCP426H going forward.

Antibacterial Protection with Triclosan

MONOCRYL® Plus sutures incorporate triclosan, an antibacterial agent, giving clinicians the familiar performance of poliglecaprone 25 with added antibacterial protection on the suture. This makes 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, with an absorption profile of 90 to 120 days. This removes the need for suture removal in buried and subcuticular closures.

PS-2 Prime Reverse Cutting Needle for Precise Tissue Penetration

This configuration features a PS-2 prime reverse cutting needle (19 mm) from Ethicon's MULTIPASS® needle line. 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 compact needle size supports controlled, accurate bites for neat closures.

Reliable Handling

MONOCRYL® Plus sutures offer smooth tissue passage and dependable knot performance, while the 27" strand provides ample working length for running subcuticular closures. The undyed strand is supplied in its natural colour.

Clinical Applications

• Subcuticular skin closure
• Skin closure and cutaneous wound repair
• General soft tissue approximation
• Minor surgical procedures
• Closures where an absorbable suture is preferred
