This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8571G, is engineered for secure approximation of dense and high-tension tissues where sharp penetration and long-term durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE delivers smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides substantial tensile strength suitable for skin closure and tough soft tissue repair. The 35 cm (14 inch) strand length allows controlled handling and accurate placement during wound approximation.

This product features double-armed TS reverse cutting needles (48 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk while enabling efficient penetration of dense tissues. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
