Product description

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, model 8556G, is engineered for secure vascular and soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures where strength, precision and long-term durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 5-0 diameter delivers refined yet durable performance suitable for veterinary vascular repair and soft tissue reconstruction. The extended 90 cm strand length offers improved operative reach and flexibility during anastomosis and reconstructive procedures.

This product features double-armed RB-1 taper point needles (17 mm). The taper point geometry supports atraumatic penetration of vessels and soft tissues, ensuring accurate placement and consistent surgical performance. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
