This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, model 788G, is engineered for ultra-fine tissue approximation in advanced microsurgical and vascular procedures. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent tensile strength.

The USP 10-0 diameter delivers high-precision performance suitable for delicate vascular and soft tissue repair. The 20 cm (8 inch) strand length allows enhanced handling flexibility and controlled placement within complex surgical fields.

This product features double-armed CIF-4 tapercut needles (13 mm). The tapercut design combines a tapered body with a cutting tip to support controlled penetration while maintaining needle strength. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for specialist surgical environments requiring microsurgical precision and consistent performance.
