This STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP1B442, is designed for knotless soft tissue closure where secure wound approximation and predictable absorption are required. Manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 with triclosan antibacterial coating, this absorbable barbed suture helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides dependable tensile strength suitable for moderate-tension soft tissue procedures. The dyed monofilament construction enhances intraoperative visibility, while the unidirectional spiral barbed configuration distributes tension evenly along the wound without the need for knot tying.

Each suture is supplied as a single 12 inch (30 cm) strand per pack, offering extended working length for longer incisions and broader tissue planes. This configuration provides increased efficiency during layered closure techniques. Supplied with a 36 mm CT-1 taper point needle, it enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue while maintaining secure engagement along the barbed strand.

STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus is fully absorbable via hydrolysis, delivering predictable tensile retention followed by gradual absorption over approximately 90–120 days. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring absorbable antibacterial knotless wound closure.
