Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8998

This PROLENE™ Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8998, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring substantial tensile strength and long-term wound support. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE™ provides smooth tissue passage, excellent knot security and minimal tissue reactivity.

The USP 1 diameter delivers strong tensile performance suitable for fascia and high-tension soft tissue closure. The 100 cm strand length supports controlled placement and continuous suturing techniques in procedures requiring extended running closure.

This suture is supplied with a CTB needle. The CTB configuration is designed to facilitate controlled tissue penetration while maintaining needle stability and strength during placement. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
