This STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP2B408, 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 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 suture is supplied as a single 12 inch (30 cm) strand per pack in a double-armed configuration. Fitted with two 19 mm PS-2 reverse cutting needles, this design enables symmetrical wound closure in opposing directions, supporting accurate tissue approximation across longer incisions.

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.
