This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture with EVERPOINT Technology, product code EP7972H, is engineered for delicate soft tissue and microvascular procedures where sustained needle sharpness and refined handling are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent tensile support.

The USP 8-0 diameter is suitable for ultra-fine tissue layers requiring precise tension control and minimal tissue trauma. The 60 cm strand length offers balanced reach and flexibility for intricate surgical environments.

This suture is bi-directional and fitted with a CC175-8 EP TAPERCUT needle (9.3 mm). Constructed from tungsten rhenium alloy and incorporating EVERPOINT Technology, the needle is designed to maintain consistent sharpness through repeated passes. The TAPERCUT configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, facilitating controlled penetration of delicate yet slightly resistant tissue. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical settings requiring dependable non-absorbable microsurgical closure.
