Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8937
£68.69
This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8937, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent wound support.
The USP 2-0 diameter provides substantial tensile performance suitable for fascia, fibrous tissue and general soft tissue closure requiring secure knot integrity. The 90 cm strand length supports controlled placement and continuous suturing techniques during a wide range of surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied with a V-5 tapercut needle (17 mm). The tapercut configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling precise penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while reducing unnecessary trauma. Constructed from durable 4310 alloy, the needle offers strength, stability and resistance to bending during placement.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
