Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 4-0 70cm Taperpoint 17mm 1/2C (MCP3435G)

MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 4-0 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 well suited to 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 violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility, particularly within delicate or less well-illuminated tissue planes, aiding accurate placement and suture management. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this fine-calibre USP 4-0 suture is appropriate for veterinary soft tissue and subcutaneous closure where precision and reduced tissue trauma are essential. The 17mm 1/2 circle taperpoint needle is designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, minimising tissue trauma while allowing controlled passage through delicate and moderately dense tissues, supporting optimal healing outcomes.
