This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8400, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation where enhanced tensile strength and controlled handling are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 2-0 (Metric 3) diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for fascial and moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The 75 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during a wide range of surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with an ST-70 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma while maintaining controlled placement. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
