This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8434, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and fascial approximation where strength and extended reach are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.
The USP 0 (Metric 3.5) diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 100 cm strand length provides enhanced reach and flexibility during deeper or more complex surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied with an MO-2 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma while maintaining controlled placement. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
