Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8851
£75.30
This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8851, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and dermal approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 3-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for veterinary skin and moderate-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 90 cm strand length offers increased reach and flexibility for layered or continuous suturing techniques in animal surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied double-armed with two CC-40 TAPERCUT needles (40 mm). The TAPERCUT configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while maintaining stability and precision. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
