This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8662, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation where refined handling and permanent tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and long-term wound stability.

The USP 5-0 (Metric 1) diameter offers balanced tensile performance suitable for delicate dermal and soft tissue closure. The 60 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during precise surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a CC TAPERCUT micro-point needle. The TAPERCUT micro-point configuration combines a tapered body with a finely engineered cutting tip, facilitating controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while minimising trauma to surrounding structures. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
