Monocryl Plus suture by Ethicon. Antibacterial absorbable - synthetic - monofilament.
Monocryl Plus is a antibactieral synthetic, absorbable suture that combines the advantages of a monofilament suture (for example smooth passage through tissue) with a predictable resorption time.
It's composed of poliglecaprone 25, which is a copolymer of glycolide and E-caprolactone.
Monocryl comes both in purple colour and undyed.
Monocryl has a low tissue reactivity, maintains high tensile strength, and has a half-life of 7 to 14 days.
Approximate tensile strength Monocryl undyed suture:
1 week = 50 %
2 weeks = 20 %
3 weeks = 0 %
Approximate tensile strength Monocryl purple suture:
1 week = 60 %
2 weeks = 30 %
4 weeks = 0 %
The Monocryl Plus suture is completely hydrolyzed by 90–120 days.
Monocryl Plus has a consistency close to nylon suture material and when removed from the package, it might have a degree of "memory", or coil.
