Product description

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8708H, is engineered for permanent soft tissue approximation where strength, handling, and minimal tissue response are essential. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture offers long-term tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and resistance to bacterial adherence.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides increased strength suitable for soft tissue, fascia, and muscle closure. The 75 cm suture length allows extended reach and flexibility during surgical procedures requiring secure wound support.

EP8708H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint geometry enables smooth tissue penetration with controlled passage and reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable penetration performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring dependable, permanent wound closure.
