This PROLENE™ Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8401, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue and fascial approximation where durability and extended reach are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE™ ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 1 (Metric 4) diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 100 cm strand length provides enhanced reach and flexibility during deeper or more complex surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a TP-1 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, supporting controlled placement while reducing tissue trauma. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
