This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture with Firm Pledgets, product code P8522H, is engineered for procedures requiring reinforced tissue support and enhanced load distribution. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent tensile stability.

The USP 3-0 diameter offers balanced tensile strength suitable for soft tissue and cardiovascular or high-tension applications. The 36 inch (91 cm) strand length, supplied in a double-armed configuration, supports symmetrical suturing and controlled approximation.

This suture is double-armed with two SH taper point needles (26 mm) and incorporates firm pledgets measuring 7 mm × 3 mm × 1.5 mm. The pledgets are designed to distribute tension across a broader tissue surface, reducing the risk of suture pull-through in friable or high-stress tissue. The taper point needle configuration allows atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 6, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reinforced non-absorbable closure.
