Product description

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8558H, is engineered for secure cardiovascular and vascular tissue approximation where strength, handling precision and minimal tissue reactivity are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE delivers smooth tissue passage, reliable knot security and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter provides durable performance suitable for vascular repair and reconstructive procedures. The extended 90 cm (36 inch) strand length enables improved operative reach and flexibility during anastomosis and soft tissue reconstruction.

This product features double-armed RB-1 taper point needles (17 mm). The taper point geometry ensures atraumatic penetration of vessels and soft tissues, supporting accurate placement and consistent surgical performance. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
