This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8682SLH, is engineered for accurate skin and soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and cosmetic precision are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.
The USP 4-0 diameter offers balanced tensile strength suitable for dermatologic and general surgical closure. The 45 cm strand length allows efficient handling and controlled knot placement during wound approximation.
This product features a PS-2S PRIME MULTIPASS® reverse cutting needle (19 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, while MULTIPASS® technology maintains sharpness through repeated passes. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
