This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8879T, is engineered for reliable dermal and soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and long-term tensile stability are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides balanced tensile performance suitable for dermal and moderate-tension soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during routine and specialist surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a PC-25 PRIME™ conventional cutting needle (26 mm). The conventional cutting configuration enables sharp penetration of skin and tougher tissue layers, while PRIME™ geometry enhances needle strength and stability during passage. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
