This STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP2B151, is designed for bidirectional knotless soft tissue closure where controlled 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 4-0 diameter provides refined tensile performance suitable for delicate soft tissue and subcuticular closure. The violet monofilament construction enhances intraoperative visibility, while the bidirectional spiral barbed configuration enables tension distribution from the midpoint outward, eliminating the need for knot tying.

Each suture is supplied as a single 18 inch (45 cm) strand per pack in a double-armed configuration. Fitted with two 19 mm PS-2 reverse cutting needles, this setup allows symmetrical wound closure from the centre in opposing directions, supporting precise edge approximation and improved cosmetic results.

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 bidirectional knotless closure.
