The Ethicon MONOCRYL Plus Antibacterial (poliglecaprone 25) Suture Size 6-0 P-1 18in (MCP489G) is an ultra-fine synthetic absorbable suture designed for precise approximation of delicate tissue where temporary wound support is required.

Pairing an undyed 6-0 strand with a very small 11 mm P-1 prime reverse cutting needle, this configuration is suited to meticulous closures in thin skin and cosmetically sensitive areas where the smallest, most precise bites and an absorbable suture are preferred. This item replaces code 900-Y489G (vendor code Y489G), so customers who previously ordered Y489G can use MCP489G 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.

P-1 Prime Reverse Cutting Needle for Precise Tissue Penetration

This configuration features a P-1 prime reverse cutting needle (11 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 very small needle size supports exceptionally fine, controlled bites for meticulous closures.

Reliable Handling for Fine Closures

MONOCRYL® Plus sutures offer smooth tissue passage and dependable knot performance, supporting consistent results in highly detailed work. The undyed strand is supplied in its natural colour.

Clinical Applications

• Fine subcuticular closure
• Closures in thin skin and cosmetically sensitive areas
• Plastic and reconstructive procedures
• Minor surgical and dermatologic procedures
• Closures where an absorbable suture is preferred
