Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Undyed Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture F2862

This PROLENE Polypropylene Clear (Undyed) Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F2862, is engineered for reliable skin and soft tissue approximation where precision handling and permanent tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound support.

The USP 3-0 (Metric 2) diameter delivers enhanced tensile performance suitable for dermal and moderate-tension soft tissue closure. The 75 cm strand length offers controlled reach and flexibility, supporting accurate placement and secure knot formation.

This suture is fitted with a PS-2 PRIME™ reverse cutting needle. The PRIME™ reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, supporting controlled penetration of skin and tougher dermal layers. The undyed configuration may be preferred where reduced suture visibility is desirable. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
