Manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 with triclosan antibacterial coating, this absorbable barbed suture helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSTRATAFIX™ 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eAbsorbable poliglecaprone 25 monofilament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eAntibacterial triclosan coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eBidirectional spiral barbed design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eUSP 4-0 surgical diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e18 in (45 cm) strand length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eDouble-armed configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eTwo PS-2 reverse cutting needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e19 mm needle length (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eSterile, single-use — Box of 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eBrand: STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Ethicon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eProduct Code: SXMP2B151\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eCategory: Wound Closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eSuture Size: USP 4-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eLength: 18 in (45 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Poliglecaprone 25, Monofilament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eCoating: Triclosan Antibacterial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eColour: Violet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eAbsorbability: Absorbable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eAbsorption Profile: Approximately 90–120 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eDirectionality: Bidirectional (Barbed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eNeedle Name: PS-2 (Double Armed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eNeedle Length: 19 mm (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eNeedle Colour: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eNeedle Point Type: Reverse Cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eStrands Per Pack: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003ePledget: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eQuantity per Box: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eUnit of Measure: Box (12 Each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eSubcuticular skin closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003ePlastic and reconstructive procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eDermatological procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eCosmetic closure techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eProcedures requiring centre-outward closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eLight tension wound management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ethicon Sutures","offers":[{"title":"4-0","offer_id":57496804065612,"sku":"SXMP2B151","price":657.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5218\/0812\/files\/ethicon-stratafix-spiral-monocryl-plus-antibacterial-poliglecaprone-25-absorbable-barbed-suture-usp-3-0-12-in-12-in-30-cm-30-cm-undyed-double-armed-st-4-multipa-2238329.png?v=1778474849","url":"https:\/\/www.dentalsutures.co.uk\/products\/sxmp2b151","provider":"Dental Sutures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
