This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8440G, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue and dermal approximation in animal health procedures where durability 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 1 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for larger animal procedures and high-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 100 cm strand length provides enhanced reach and flexibility during deeper or more complex veterinary surgical applications.
This suture is supplied with a TR-30 conventional cutting needle (30 mm). The conventional cutting configuration enables sharp penetration of skin and tougher dermal tissue, supporting controlled and secure closure.
