This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code VC5673H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation where enhanced tensile strength and controlled handling are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 2-0 (Metric 3) diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for fascial and moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length supports precise placement and secure knot tying in a range of surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a UR-6 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
