Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 2-0 70cm Tapercut 26mm 1/2C (MCP3440G)

MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 2-0 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 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 violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility, particularly within deeper or less well-illuminated tissue planes, aiding accurate placement and suture management. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this USP 2-0 suture is appropriate for a wide range of veterinary soft tissue and subcutaneous closure applications. The 26mm 1/2 circle Tapercut needle combines a tapered body with a cutting point, allowing controlled penetration through moderately dense tissues while minimising unnecessary tissue trauma. This needle profile provides improved control compared with a standard taperpoint needle in tissues where additional penetration is required.
