This STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP2B427, is designed for bidirectional knotless soft tissue closure where extended working length 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 3-0 diameter provides balanced tensile strength suitable for light to moderate-tension soft tissue approximation. The undyed monofilament construction offers natural tissue presentation, while the bidirectional spiral barbed configuration distributes tension evenly from the midpoint outward, eliminating the need for knot tying.

Each device features a 12 in × 12 in (30 cm × 30 cm) strand configuration. Fitted with two 19 mm ST-4 Multipass® taper point needles, this setup enables symmetrical closure in opposing directions while supporting smooth, atraumatic penetration and repeated controlled needle passes where required.

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 wound closure.
