This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F1801H, is developed for dependable soft tissue approximation where precision handling and permanent tensile support are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and long-term wound stability.

The USP 4-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile strength suitable for general soft tissue and layered closure applications. The 75 cm strand length provides sufficient reach and flexibility for accurate placement and secure knot formation during surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two RB-1 taper point needles (17 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, supporting controlled tissue approximation with reduced trauma. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
