This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8726H, is engineered for dependable, long-term soft tissue approximation where strength, control, and minimal tissue response are required. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides excellent tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and minimal tissue reactivity.

The USP 5 diameter offers strong support for soft tissue closure while maintaining controlled handling characteristics. The 75 cm suture length allows extended reach and flexibility during surgical procedures requiring secure wound support.

EP8726H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint needle geometry enables smooth tissue penetration with 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 strong, permanent wound closure.
