J&J Ethicon Suture Monocryl Plus Antibacterial 4/0 with PC-1 13mm 3/8 Circle Conventional Cutting Prime Needle 45cm (12)
Ethicon Monocryl Plus Antibacterial sutures are sterile, absorbable, monofilament sutures prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and ecaprolactone. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic, and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
