Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 3-0 70cm Reverse cutting 19mm 3/8C (MCP4424H)

MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 3-0 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 absorption when compared with longer-term absorbable sutures, making it well suited to veterinary procedures where short-term wound support and predictable healing are required. The monofilament construction delivers smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and reduced capillarity, supporting consistent handling and secure knot formation.

The violet colour improves intraoperative visibility, particularly within superficial and subcutaneous tissue layers, aiding accurate placement and suture control. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this USP 3-0 suture is appropriate for a wide range of veterinary skin, subcutaneous, and soft tissue closure applications. The 19mm 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle features a cutting edge on the outer curvature, enabling controlled penetration through skin and tougher fibrous tissues while reducing the risk of tissue cut-out. This needle profile supports clean wound edges and precise closure outcomes in veterinary surgery.
