This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8475G, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue and skin approximation where durability and extended reach are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.
The USP 1 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 a CPX reverse cutting needle (48 mm). The reverse cutting configuration enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, making it particularly suitable for skin and tougher dermal layers. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
