Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS violet USP 4-0 70cm Reverse Cutting Prime 19mm 3/8C (MCP498H)

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 absorption 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 structure provides smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and reduced capillarity, supporting consistent handling and secure knot placement.

The violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility, particularly in superficial and subcutaneous tissue layers, aiding accurate placement and suture management. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this fine-calibre USP 4-0 suture is appropriate for veterinary skin, subcutaneous, and 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 tissue while reducing the risk of tissue cut-out. This needle profile supports clean wound edges and precise closure in veterinary surgical applications.
