Description

MONOCRYL PLUS undyed USP 5-0 is a monofilament, absorbable surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture line. It is engineered for rapid tensile strength loss and predictable absorption compared with longer-term absorbable sutures, making it particularly suitable for veterinary procedures where short-term wound support and efficient tissue healing are clinically required. The monofilament construction provides smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and reduced capillarity, supporting consistent handling and secure knot formation.

The undyed (natural) colour is preferred where minimal visual presence of the suture material is desirable within the surgical field. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this fine-calibre USP 5-0 suture is well suited to delicate veterinary skin, superficial soft tissue, and subcutaneous closure applications. The 19mm 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle features a cutting edge on the outer curvature, allowing controlled penetration through skin and fibrous tissues while reducing the risk of tissue cut-out. This needle profile supports clean wound edges, precise placement, and predictable closure outcomes in veterinary surgery.
