Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture EP8705SLH

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8705SLH, is designed for permanent and precise soft tissue approximation across clinical and surgical applications. The suture consists of blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, offering excellent tensile strength retention, minimal tissue drag, and reduced tissue reactivity for reliable wound support.

The USP 6-0 gauge provides a fine diameter suitable for delicate soft tissue procedures where reliable handling and smooth passage are essential. With a 60 cm suture length, this configuration allows controlled placement and flexibility during suturing.

EP8705SLH features two CC175-8 tapercut micro point needles, each measuring 9.3 mm in length with a 3/8 circle curvature. The tapercut micro point design enhances precision and reduces trauma during tissue penetration, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and dependable performance throughout use.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is ideal for professional hospital and clinical environments requiring durable, high-precision wound closure.
