Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8725G

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W8725G, is engineered for fine soft tissue and vascular approximation where precision handling and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides 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. The 60 cm strand length provides balanced reach and flexibility during intricate surgical procedures.

This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two C-1 taper point needles (13 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during delicate tissue approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
