This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code EH8036H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation where refined handling and consistent tensile performance are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 5-0 (Metric 1) diameter delivers balanced strength suitable for fine soft tissue closure and vascular applications. The 75 cm strand length offers improved reach and flexibility during procedures requiring accurate placement and secure knot formation.

This suture is fitted with an ACC-1 TAPERCUT needle. The TAPERCUT configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, allowing controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while minimising unnecessary trauma. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring durable non-absorbable wound closure.
