Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture EPM8704SL

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EPM8704SL, is designed for precise, permanent soft tissue approximation where predictable handling and minimal tissue response are required. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides excellent long-term tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and resistance to bacterial adherence.

The USP 5-0 diameter offers an optimal balance of strength and finesse for delicate soft tissue procedures. The 60 cm suture length provides controlled handling and accuracy during suturing and knot tying.

EPM8704SL is supplied with two CC175-8 tapercut micro point needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The tapercut micro point geometry enables clean, controlled penetration with reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and dependable 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 with enhanced precision.
