"Monocryl Plus suture by Ethicon. Antibacterial absorbable - synthetic - monofilament. Monocryl Plus is a antibactieral synthetic, absorbable suture that combines the advantages of a monofilament suture (for example smooth passage through tissue) with a predictable resorption time.  It is composed of poliglecaprone 25, which is a copolymer of glycolide and E-caprolactone.  Monocryl comes both in purple colour and undyed. Monocryl has a low tissue reactivity, maintains high tensile strength, and has a half-life of 7 to 14 days.  Approximate tensile strength Monocryl undyed suture: 1 week  = 50 %  2 weeks = 20 % 3 weeks = 0 % Approximate tensile strength Monocryl purple suture: 1 week  = 60 %  2 weeks = 30 % 4 weeks = 0 % The Monocryl Plus suture is completely hydrolyzed by 90–120 days.  Monocryl Plus has a consistency close to nylon suture material and when removed from the package, it might have a degree of "memory", or coil.  Manufacturer: Ethicon / Johnson & Johnson"
