This STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP1B438, is designed for 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 a natural appearance in tissue, while the unidirectional spiral barbed design distributes tension evenly along the wound without the need for knot tying.

Each suture is supplied as a single 9 inch (23 cm) strand per pack, offering increased working length for layered or extended closures. Supplied with a 17 mm RB-1 taper point needle, this configuration ensures smooth, atraumatic tissue penetration, particularly in delicate soft tissue planes.

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 knotless wound closure.
