This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8977, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE delivers smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent wound support.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides substantial tensile performance suitable for fascia and fibrous tissue closure requiring secure knot integrity and durable approximation. The 90 cm strand length supports controlled placement and continuous suturing techniques across a wide range of general surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a V-7 tapercut needle. The tapercut configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while minimising unnecessary trauma. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
