This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8527G, is engineered for secure soft tissue and fascial approximation where high tensile strength and long-term durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, reliable knot security and permanent wound support.
The USP 1 (Metric 4) diameter delivers substantial strength suitable for high-tension closures and major surgical procedures. The 150 cm strand length allows extended reach and flexibility during deep tissue and fascial approximation.
This product features a CTX taperpoint flat needle. The flat-bodied taper design supports controlled, atraumatic penetration of dense tissues while maintaining needle strength and stability. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable high-strength closure.
