Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS undyed USP 3-0 45cm Reverse Cutting Prime 19mm 3/8C (MCP497H)

MONOCRYL PLUS undyed 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 compared with longer-term absorbable sutures, making it particularly suitable for veterinary procedures where short-term wound support and predictable healing are clinically appropriate. 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 within the surgical field is desirable. Supplied at a length of 45cm, this suture is suited to procedures where shorter working length improves handling control and efficiency, particularly in skin and superficial soft tissue closure. The 19mm 3/8 circle Reverse Cutting Prime needle features a cutting edge on the outer curvature, enabling controlled penetration through skin and fibrous tissues while reducing the risk of tissue cut-out. This needle profile supports clean wound edges and precise closure outcomes in veterinary surgery.
