This PROLENE Polypropylene Undyed Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8604G, is engineered for precise skin and soft tissue approximation where cosmetic outcome and controlled penetration are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable undyed polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 diameter offers refined strength suitable for dermatologic and general surgical skin closure. The 45 cm (18 inch) strand length allows accurate placement and efficient knot tying during wound approximation.

This product features a P-3 MULTIPASS prime reverse cutting needle (13 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, while MULTIPASS technology maintains sharpness through multiple passes. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
