This STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP1B436, is designed for knotless soft tissue closure where secure wound approximation and predictable absorption are required. Manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 with antibacterial coating, this absorbable barbed suture helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides fine tensile performance suitable for precise soft tissue approximation. The undyed monofilament construction enables smooth tissue passage, while the spiral barbed design distributes tension evenly along the wound without the need for knots.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, offering extended working reach for subcuticular and soft tissue closure. Supplied with a 17 mm RB-1 taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue while maintaining secure tissue engagement along the barbed strand.

STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus is fully absorbable via hydrolysis, with predictable absorption occurring over approximately 90–120 days. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments requiring absorbable antibacterial knotless closure.
