Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture EP8703H

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8703H, is engineered for dependable permanent wound closure and soft tissue approximation. The suture is constructed from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, providing long-term tensile strength retention, reduced tissue drag, and minimal tissue reactivity.

This configuration is sized USP 6-0, offering a fine diameter suitable for general soft tissue, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures where controlled handling and precise placement are required. The 60 cm suture length provides ample workspace for suturing various tissue layers.

EP8703H features two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint design enables smooth penetration through tissue with low trauma, while EVERPOINT technology maintains consistent needle sharpness throughout use for predictable performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is designed for clinical and hospital environments requiring precision, strength, and excellent handling in wound closure.
