This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8770G, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and dermal approximation where precision handling and long-term tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 3-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for moderate-tension soft tissue and layered closure procedures. The 75 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during routine and specialist surgical applications.

This suture is fitted with an SH-1 taper point needle (22 mm). 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.
