This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, model 1771G, is engineered for delicate tissue approximation in advanced ophthalmic and microsurgical 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 ultra-fine performance suitable for corneal and scleral procedures requiring precision control. The extended 30 cm (12 inch) strand length allows greater operative flexibility and improved handling in complex surgical fields.

This product features double-armed TG140-8 cutting edge spatula reverse needles (6.5 mm). The spatulated reverse cutting geometry enhances controlled penetration of delicate ocular tissues while maintaining needle strength and directional accuracy. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for specialist surgical environments requiring microsurgical precision and consistent performance.
