Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture M8805

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code M8805, is engineered for fine vascular and soft tissue approximation where precision handling and permanent tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound stability.

The USP 6-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate vascular structures and fine tissue layers. Each pack contains four 24 inch (61 cm) strands in a double-armed configuration, supporting efficient procedural workflow and multiple anastomosis or closure applications within a single sterile pack.

Each strand is double-armed with two BV-1 taper point needles (9.3 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to reduce trauma during vascular approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 packs (each containing 4 strands), this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
