This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W486G, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and fascial approximation in animal health procedures where strength and extended reach are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 0 diameter delivers substantial tensile strength suitable for larger animal procedures and moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 100 cm strand length provides enhanced reach and flexibility during deeper or more complex veterinary surgical applications.

This suture is supplied with a V-34 TAPERCUT CC needle (36 mm). The TAPERCUT CC configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining needle stability. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
