Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8702S

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W8702S, is engineered for fine vascular and soft tissue approximation where precision handling and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 7-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate tissue layers requiring controlled tension. Each pack contains four 60 cm strands in a bi-directional double-armed configuration, supporting efficient procedural workflow and multiple anastomosis or closure applications within a single sterile pack.

Each strand is double-armed with two BV175-8 MP taper point needles (9.3 mm), manufactured from 4310 alloy for strength and consistency. MULTIPASS technology is designed to maintain needle sharpness through repeated passes, ensuring consistent penetration performance. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic fibre separation rather than cutting. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 packs (each containing 4 strands), this product is intended for professional microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
