Antibacterial suture reduces infection risk

Representing the latest development in medical devices that help to reduce the risk of complications associated with surgery, Monocryl Plus antibacterial (Poliglecaprone 25) suture is now launched in Europe by ETHICON.

  Ethicon Plus antibacterial sutures are proven to kill bacteria and inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture by microorganisms known to contribute to surgical site infections (SSIs). Vicryl Plus Suture and Monocryl Plus Suture are impregnated with the antibacterial agent Irgacare MP, the purest form of the antiseptic Triclosan, which has been used for over 30 years in consumer products, and has a proven track record of efficacy.
