The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ Absorbable Suture W3432 is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation.

MONOCRYL™ sutures are produced from a copolymer of glycolide and ε-caprolactone, providing excellent handling characteristics, smooth tissue passage and dependable knot security.

The monofilament construction reduces tissue drag and helps minimise bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures, making MONOCRYL™ suitable for delicate tissue approximation.

This version of MONOCRYL™ is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during surgical procedures.

Poliglecaprone 25 has been demonstrated to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, allowing reliable wound support during the early healing period.

MONOCRYL™ sutures are commonly used in general surgery, plastic surgery, dermatologic procedures and subcuticular skin closure, where smooth tissue passage and predictable absorption are important.

The suture is supplied sterile and ready for single-use surgical procedures, complying with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and United States Pharmacopoeia for absorbable surgical sutures.
