Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture F1821

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F1821, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation where refined 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 support.

The USP 5-0 diameter offers balanced strength suitable for fine soft tissue and layered closure applications. The 75 cm strand length provides flexibility and controlled reach during accurate placement and secure knot formation.

This suture is bi-directional and fitted with an SH taper point needle (26 mm). The taper point configuration allows atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
