Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture EP8702H

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8702H, is designed for reliable, long-term wound closure where minimal tissue reaction and consistent performance are critical. Made from dyed blue polypropylene monofilament, the suture retains tensile strength indefinitely, resists bacterial adherence, and offers smooth passage with low tissue drag.

EP8702H is sized USP 7-0, making it suitable for fine soft tissue approximation in a range of clinical procedures. The 60 cm suture length allows ample handling for precise placement.

The configuration includes two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, engineered for controlled penetration and reduced trauma in delicate tissue. EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable performance throughout use.

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