Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture EP8732H

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8732H, is engineered for very high-strength, permanent soft tissue approximation where durability, control, and long-term wound support are essential. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides outstanding tensile strength retention, minimal tissue reactivity, and low tissue drag.

The USP 9 diameter delivers extremely high tensile strength suitable for closure of fascia, muscle, and other heavy-load soft tissues. The 75 cm suture length allows extended reach and flexibility during surgical procedures requiring secure wound support.

EP8732H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint geometry enables smooth tissue penetration with reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable penetration performance throughout use.

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.
