This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8026T, is engineered for reliable skin and soft tissue approximation where enhanced tensile strength and controlled penetration are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 2-0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for dermal and moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length supports precise placement and secure knot tying during a wide range of surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a PS PRIME™ reverse cutting needle (26 mm). The PRIME™ reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, supporting sharp and controlled penetration of skin and tougher dermal layers. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
