Product description

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8998G, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring high tensile strength and enhanced needlestick injury protection. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, excellent knot security and minimal tissue reactivity.

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

This suture is supplied with a CTD ETHIGUARD blunt point needle (40 mm). The blunt tip configuration is specifically designed to reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries while maintaining effective tissue separation. Manufactured from durable 420 alloy, the needle offers strength, stability and resistance to bending 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 with enhanced safety characteristics.
