This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8005T, is engineered for reliable skin and fine soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and permanent tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound stability.

The USP 6-0 diameter provides refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate dermal closure and low-tension soft tissue repair. The 45 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during precise surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a PC-3 PRIME™ conventional cutting needle (16 mm). The conventional cutting configuration enables sharp penetration of skin and tougher tissue layers, while PRIME™ geometry enhances needle strength and stability during passage.
