This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture with HEMOSEAL™ Technology, product code HS8556H, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation where enhanced sealing capability and permanent tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound support.

The USP 5-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate soft tissue and layered closure procedures. The extended 36 inch (91 cm) strand length, supplied in a double-armed configuration, supports efficient continuous suturing and symmetrical closure techniques.

This suture is double-armed with two RB-1 taper point needles (17 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during approximation. HEMOSEAL™ Technology is designed to help reduce suture line bleeding by enhancing sealing at the needle-to-suture interface. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
