This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Cardiovascular Suture, product code EP8610H, is engineered for vascular and cardiovascular procedures requiring precision, consistent needle performance and long-term tensile strength. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 6-0 diameter is suitable for delicate vascular structures requiring refined handling and controlled tension. The 24 inch (61 cm) strand length in a double-armed configuration supports symmetrical suturing and efficient vascular anastomosis techniques.
This suture is supplied double-armed with two 11 mm BV taper point EVERPOINT® cardiovascular needles. Constructed to maintain sustained sharpness through repeated passes, EVERPOINT® Technology supports consistent penetration performance in vascular tissue. The taper point configuration allows atraumatic fibre separation rather than cutting, reducing tissue trauma during vessel approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional cardiovascular surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
