Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture EP8704H

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8704H, is engineered for reliable and permanent soft tissue approximation. Constructed from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, it provides long-term tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and minimal tissue reactivity.

The USP 5-0 diameter is suited for general soft tissue closure requiring balance between strength and flexibility. The 75 cm suture length allows extended handling and flexibility in surgical field placement.

EP8704H is furnished with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each with a 9.3 mm length and 3/8 circle curvature, designed to enable smooth penetration and easy passage through soft tissues. EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and reliable penetration performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for clinical and hospital environments where secure wound support and precise handling are essential.
