£110.72
This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8868T, is engineered for reliable skin and soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 6-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate veterinary dermal and soft tissue layers requiring controlled tension. The 45 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during precise animal surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied with a P-1 PRIME™ reverse cutting needle (11 mm). The PRIME™ reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, supporting sharp and controlled dermal penetration. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
